Projectile Motion You have probably watched a ball roll off a table and strike the floor. What determines where it will land? Could you predict where it will land? In this experiment‚ you will roll a ball down a ramp and determine the ball’s velocity with a pair of Photogates. You will use this information and your knowledge of physics to predict where the ball will land when it hits the floor.

Physics 1 Lab - Section 001 CP1 Lab Report - Projectile Motion October 12‚ 2009 The purpose of Lab Assignment 1 was to analyze projectile motion. In doing so‚ we determined the initial velocity of the ball shot horizontally from the spring loaded projectile launcher. Also‚ we verified the angle at which the projection of the ball would produce a maximum range. Lastly‚ we predicted the range that a ball would travel at a certain angle‚ theta. Projectile motion is the motion of objects

Lab II‚ Problem 3: Projectile Motion and Velocity Oct. 06‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ Professor: Hanany‚ TA: Vladimir Abstract A ball is tossed obliquely. The vectors of position and velocity are measured. The acceleration is calculated. Introduction A toy company is now making an instructional videotape on how to predict the position. Therefore‚ in order to make the prediction accurate‚ how the horizontal and vertical components of a ball’s position as it flies through the air should

Background Information: Equation One: T=2πlg Where T = the period of the pendulum (s). This is the time taken for the pendulum to return to its starting position. l = length of the pendulum g = the rate of acceleration due to gravity (ms-2) * In

Our frame of reference changes due to our uniform circular motion around the Earth. As the Earth is not a perfect circle (elliptical)‚ the closer to the equator you are‚ the further away you are from the Earth’s centre and the less force of gravity you experience. The Earth’s radius is 6378 km. As a result

Projectile Motion Purpose: An object in a projectile motion move horizontally with no acceleration and vertically with the gravitational acceleration at the same time. This experiment is to investigate projectile motion using experiments‚ equations and comparing the expected and experimental data. Procedure: Case I: Use formulas to find equation of horizontal Range (R) in a projectile motion. Rearrange equation for Rmax‚ and find the angle Adjust the launches angle to angle Launch
