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.
Design and conduct a practical investigation to collect primary data to validate the relationship between the launch velocity and the range of a projectile. Use the results to calculate the acceleration due to gravity.
The equation that describes the vertical component of the projectile’s velocity as a function of time is v y = gt. The equation that describes the horizontal position of the projectile as a...
Explore the interactive simulation of projectile motion, learning about kinematics and air resistance factors.
Calculate the launch speed based on the following formula: Determine the ranges to which the ball is shot when you vary 0 in 5 degree steps from 20o to 75o. Measure the distance between the launcher and the box with the carbon paper.
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.
In this simulation you will learn about projectile motion by blasting objects out of a cannon. You can choose between objects such as a tank shell, a golf ball or even a Buick. Experiment with changing the angle, initial speed, and mass, and adding in air resistance. Make a game out of this simulation by trying to hit the target.
