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

Physics 3 . Projectile Motion Objectives: Students will measure the maximum height H and the range R of a projectile motion. They will study the effect of the shooting angle on H and R. Material used: 4 rulers‚ track‚ metallic ball‚ landing track‚ A4 white paper‚ red carbon paper‚ timer + supply‚ gun + protractor. Theory: A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. There are a variety of examples of projectiles: an object dropped from rest is a projectile (provided

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

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

Kyle Brooks 11/13/12 Angry Birds Projectile Motion Lab How to Perfect Distances Of Birds using Launching Angles Purpose: The Purpose of this Lab is to discover which launch angles give the birds the longest and shortest time in flight. Hypothesis: I believe that the bird will launch the farthest at the 45 degree angle because that’s exactly half of 90 degrees which will give it the maximum height in comparison to length. I also think that the bird will launch the shortest at 0 degrees

In order to find the velocity of the steel ball two different equations are needed. In order to find the velocity of the steel ball fired from the projectile gun on an inclined plane‚ the first equation must be manipulated and substituted
