Projectile Motion PHYS111 Formal Report 2 University of Canterbury Campbell Moulder Abstract The force of gravity is said to be a constant of 9.81 ms-2 (3). This can be proved by measuring the projectile motion of a bouncy ball and plotting a ∆Vertical Velocity vs. Time graph‚ the gradient of which should equal the constant force (acceleration due to) of gravity. Our gradient value of 10.26±0.49 ms-2 is consistent with the actual value of 9.81 ms-2. Introduction A projectile is an

Title Projectile Motion Abstract A projectile was fired from atop an elevation and an angle. The initial velocity for each firing was likely to be the same. The distance traveled in the horizontal direction was measured for multiple firings of each trial‚ and the values were averaged. When the initial velocity for each of these averages was calculated it was proved that the initial velocity was relatively constant. These measurements had many possible sources of error including air resistance and

The moment of inertia is a measure of an object’s resistance to changes in its rotation. It must be very specific to the chosen axis of rotation. Also‚ it is specific to the mass and shape of the object‚ including the way that is mass is distributed in the object. Moment of inertia is usually quantified in kgm2. An object’s where the mass is concentrated very close to the center of axis of rotation will be easier to spin than an object of identical mass with the mass concentrated far from the axis

Newton’s Law predicts that the acceleration should be proportional to the difference between the masses and proportional to their sum‚ where = 9.8 m/s2 is the

Pre-lab: Newtons Three Laws of Motion: There are three laws of motion that have been stated by Sir Isaac Newton during the sixteenth century that are looked upon even today. The first of these laws states that an object will stay in at rest or in a constant velocity unless a force acts upon it. In simplest terms this means that if u place an apple on the table it isn’t just going to roll off. The second of these laws states that when a force acts upon an object it causes it to accelerate

Kyle Brooks 11/13/12 Angry Birds Projectile Motion Lab How to Perfect Distances Of Birds using Launching Angles Purpose: The Purpose of this Lab is to discover which launch angles give the birds the longest and shortest time in flight. Hypothesis: I believe that the bird will launch the farthest at the 45 degree angle because that’s exactly half of 90 degrees which will give it the maximum height in comparison to length. I also think that the bird will launch the shortest at 0 degrees

Conclusion to Motion Lab Kerreon Wright 3rd Period Ms. Gislason The purpose of this Motion Lab was to find the acceleration of a steel marble going down a straight track six different times to figure out how an object’s mass affects acceleration. It doesn’t due to Newton’s second law of motion. There were six different accelerations for each trial and they are: 7.88 m/s squared‚ 6.78 m/s squared‚ 6.07 m/s squared‚ 5.57 m/s squared‚ 4.32 m/s squared‚ and 5.11 m/s squared. It’s possible
