The objective of this lab is to investigate projectile mo-tion, first when a projectile is fired horizontally, and then when a projectile is fired from a non-zero angle of elevation. Theory Projectile motion is an example of motion with a con-stant acceleration, with an initial velocity in any direc-tion (horizontal, vertical, or at an angle).
How does the initial velocity of a projectile affect its range? Obviously, the greater the initial speed v 0 v 0 , the greater the range, as shown in the figure above. The initial angle θ 0 θ 0 also has a dramatic effect on the range.
Learn about projectile motion by firing various objects. Set parameters such as angle, initial speed, and mass. Explore vector representations, and add air resistance to investigate the factors that influence drag.
Explore the interactive simulation of projectile motion, learning about kinematics and air resistance factors.
We will do this by calculating a muzzle velocity (or initial velocity) for a steel ball projectile launcher using two different methods, then calculating the gravitational constant (g) from these velocities.
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.
