Projectile Motion The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally‚ the initial velocity of the ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity‚ the projectile range will be measured for various initial angles‚ and also calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. For further background information‚ refer to the sections in your textbook on projectile motion and motion

Projectile Motion Experiment # 4 Introduction: Projectile Motion exists commonly in our everyday lives and is particularly evident in the motion or flight of objects which are projected from a particular height. The key to working with projectile motion is recognizing that when an object with mass is flying through the air‚ its motion is a combination of vertical and horizontal movements. Although the horizontal velocity of the object remains constant throughout the flight‚ it’s vertical velocity

Inertia can best be described as _____. a. the force which keeps moving objects moving an stationary objects at rest. b. the willingness of an object to eventually lose its motion c. the force which causes all objects to stop d. the tendency of any object to resist change and keep doing whatever its doing 7. Mass and velocity values for a variety of objects are listed below. Rank the objects from smallest to greatest

Projectile Motion Purpose: Apply the concepts of two-dimensional kinematics (projectile motion) to predict the impact point of an object as its velocity increases. Introduction: The most common example of an object that is moving in two dimensions is a projectile. A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. That is to say a projectile is any object that once projected or dropped continues in motion by its own‚ and is influenced only by the downward force

Projectile Motion Objectives: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the projectile motion of a ball launched horizontally. The initial velocity will be calculated. The range of the ball will be measured. Theory: Horizontal launch of the ball allows computing the initial velocity v0 by measuring the height of the launch and the distance traveled by the ball: h=‚ s=v0 ∙ t Solving these parametric equations for v0 gives us: 0=s Where h and s are defined from the

Experiment 4 Projectile Motion Introduction We examined projectile motion by observing a ball rolling down then leaving the ramp‚ thus becoming a projectile with a horizontal initial velocity. We measured the horizontal initial velocity using the photogate and computer. We measured the horizontal and vertical distances that the projectile traveled from the end of the ramp to when it hit the floor my using a meter stick to measure Experimental Set-Up In our experiment‚ we used the following:

historical development of the models of the universe from the time of Aristotle to the time of Newton. Aristotle: Geocentric model of the universe involved a series of 56 concentric spheres to which celestial objects were attached. The Earth was not in motion as the stars showed no measureable parallax. Each planet‚ the Sun‚ and the Moon were in their own sphere and the stars were positioned on a larger sphere surrounding all the others. Ptolemy: Geocentric model of the universe placed the Earth at
