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.
Breaking this two-dimensional motion into two independent one-dimensional motions will allow us to solve for the time. The time a projectile is in the air depends only on its vertical motion.
22 kwi 2024 · The equation for the distance traveled by a projectile being affected by gravity is sin(2θ) × v 2 /g, where θ is the angle, v is the initial velocity, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Assuming that v 2 /g is constant, the greatest distance will be when sin(2θ) is at its maximum, which is when 2θ = 90 degrees
In this science project, you will use a catapult to launch ping-pong balls and use a video camera to film their trajectory, or path, as they fly through the air. You can also use physics to predict the trajectory of the ball, and then compare this predicted trajectory to the one you measure from video recordings.
If there is a certain distance, d, that you want your object to go and you know the initial velocity at which it will be launched, the initial launch angle required to get it that distance is called the angle of reach. It can be found using the following equation: \[\mathrm{θ=\dfrac{1}{2} \sin ^{−1}(\dfrac{gd}{v^2})}\]
Problem Type 1: A projectile is launched with an initial horizontal velocity from an elevated position and follows a parabolic path to the ground. Predictable unknowns include the initial speed of the projectile, the initial height of the projectile, the time of flight, and the horizontal distance of the projectile.
28 maj 2024 · Trajectory formula. Trajectory calculator: how to use. FAQ. Use this trajectory calculator to find the flight path of a projectile. Type in three values: velocity, angle, and initial height, and in no time, you'll find the trajectory formula and its shape.
