Investigating Projectiles Background: A projectile is an entity which only has the force of gravity acting upon it. A projectile can be cast‚ fired‚ flung‚ heaved‚ hurled‚ pitched‚ tossed and thrown. A projectile can be anything as long as it has initial horizontal velocity that is not equal to zero which has the acceleration due to gravity. Projectile motion happens when an object projected with a force stops putting influence on the object after its launched‚ hence the only force being gravity

| Lab #3: Initial Velocity of a Projectile | | | Abhishek Samdaria | Pd.4 and 5 | | Lab #3: Initial Velocity of a Projectile Theory: How can we determine the initial velocity of a projectile? Experimental Design: The purpose behind this experiment was to determine the initial velocity of a projectile. Projection motion consists of kinematics of motion in the x and y directions. With two dimension kinematics‚ there are the x and y components in any given velocity. In projectile

HSC PHYSICS 2011 HSC PHYSICS 2011 PENDULUM MOTION BY NATHAN LOCKE Image taken from http://www.practicalphysics.org/go/Experiment_480.html Pendulum Motion Aim: To determine the rate of acceleration due to gravity by using a pendulum. 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

Bouncing Balls Coursework P3 1. Work out the average bounce height and put results in a table. Draw graph of the drop height against bounces height label axis. 2. Looking at my data‚ it is evident that when the drop height is 200cm for instance the average bounce height is 67cm compared to a shorter drop height of 120cm which has a average bounce height of only 50cm. This shows that when the drop height is higher the bounce height is also higher. 3. My data is good as I ensured that it was

Motion of the Cars In this part of the experiment‚ we are trying to figure out how fast each of the cars are moving using our own measurements. We are also asked to make a mathematical equation that describes the motion. What we plan to do is use 2 meter long meter stick to measure the distance of the cars and record the position at each time interval. After that an average velocity can be found. After we used the average velocity‚ we were able to put it into the equation of a line formula and

distance of the cup moved and it included all of the three Newton’s laws. My hypothesis actually turned out to be accurate. It’s really fascinating that how only 1 experiment can prove all of Newton’s three laws of motion just like that. When the marble was getting released from the ramp I observed it hitting the cup and surprisingly the cup didn’t fall off or changed directions it went in a straight path. For 1 penny we got the longest distance such as 4cm for trail 1‚ 4.3cm for trial 2‚ and 5.3cm

The purpose of this lab was to learn about Newton’s laws of motion by completing an experiment‚ to see how the forces act on objects. The independent variable of this experiment is the type and amount of materials used for the interior of the vehicle (out of the material list) and how they were used. The dependent variable is how and if the interior of the vehicle protected the egg from getting cracked. The controlled variables of this experiment were the height that the vehicle was dropped from
