Blast a car out of a cannon, and challenge yourself to hit a target! 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.
The object is called a projectile, and its path is called its trajectory. Air resistance is a frictional force that slows its motion and can significantly alter the trajectory of the motion. Due to the difficulty in calculation, only situations in which the deviation from projectile motion is negligible and air resistance can be ignored are ...
PROJECTILE MOTION WORKSHEET. 1. A stone is thrown horizontally at 8.0 m/s from a cliff 80m high. How far from the base of the cliff will the stone strike the ground? 2. A toy car moves off the edge of a table that is 1.25m high.
tragectory the path of a projectile, which is parabolic in two dimensions. projectile movement of an object motion through the air, subject only to the effects of gravity. range the maximum horizontal distance a projectile travels.
This projectile simulator allows students to alter the launch speed, launch height and launch angle of a projectile. The trajectory, range, and time of fight are displayed. The velocity vector components, acceleration vector, and the trajectory trace can be toggled off and on.
So the formulas we want are: v_x_init = v*cos(theta*PI()/180), v_y_init = v*sin(theta*PI()/180). In A3 write: Projectile fired at speed v at angle theta degrees to horizontal. In A5 write v=, in A6 write theta=. Insert the corresponding names in B5 and B6. Now, in B8 and B9 write =v*cos(theta*PI()/180) and =v*sin(theta*PI()/180) respectively.
Projectile Motion Review Worksheet. 1. Define a projectile. 2. Define a trajectory. 3. If a football is thrown horizontally with the same initial velocity on Earth and on the moon, is there a difference in the amount of time it takes to travel 10 yards? No. 4.
