A projectile is any object that is given an initial velocity and follows a path determined by the effects of gravitational acceleration and air resistance. Projectile motion is the act of projecting an object into the air at an angle when a curved path is an object follows when thrown or propelled near the surface of the earth.For example: a thrown football‚ an object dropped from an airplane‚ or a bullet shot from a gun.Projectile motion may only be used to solve mechanics problems

Investigating Projectile Motion Introduction Projectile motion is a type of motion that consists of horizontal and vertical motions which are independent from each other‚ known as vector components. For an object to be considered a projectile‚ it must not be self-propelled. Projectiles move horizontally at a constant velocity. However‚ they undergo uniform acceleration in the vertical direction‚ which is caused by gravity. An important aspect of projectile motion is that the time it takes

hill. Determine the initial horizontal velocity of the soccer ball. Problem Type 2: A projectile is launched at an angle to the horizontal and rises upwards to a peak while moving horizontally. Upon reaching the peak‚ the projectile falls with a motion that is symmetrical to its path upwards to the peak. Predictable unknowns include the time of flight‚ the horizontal range‚ and the height of the projectile when it is at its peak. Examples of this type of problem are a. A football is kicked

Assessment Task #1: Part A Open ended investigation By Rex Whiticker Projectile Motion Abstract: The Project motion of a catapult being fired is varied by a range of factors that affect the path of the projectile. In this experiment‚ the angle of trajectory‚ mass of the projectile and change in initial velocity of the launch‚ were all factors considered in the end result to investigate the properties of projectile motion. The purpose of the experiment was to conduct a first-hand investigation

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

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

Freefall and Projectile Motion Introduction and Objectives This lab experiment was done to determine the characteristics of free fall and projectile motion in Physics. The motion in which a body is thrown or projected is called Projectile motion while free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it‚ at least initially. In this experiment‚ a photogate‚ a chopper‚ and a Universal Lab Interface were used to determine the free fall motion of the chopper as it was
