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 motion‚ the x component

Physics Formulas: Mechanics Mechanics is the oldest branch of physics. Mechanics deals with all kinds and complexities of motion. It includes various techniques‚ which can simplify the solution of a mechanical problem. Here are some of the often required physics formulas falling in mechanics domain. Motion in One Dimension The physics formulas for motion in one dimension (Also called Kinematical equations of motion) are as follows. (Here ’u’ is initial velocity‚ ’v’ is final velocity‚ ’a’ is

One World: Motion Topic: Write an article that explores how the Physics of Motion is (or can be) used to solve a specific problem in a local or global context. Millions of people everywhere around the world make use of the principles of motion to travel up and down quickly within a tall building. The use of elevators has been around since ancient medieval times since then has grown from being powered by a hoist and winder to electric and hydraulic motors1. An elevator

Curvilinear Motion Projectile Motion When the player hits the “Sepak”‚ the motion of the “Sepak” is called projectile motion. The “Sepak” itself is called projectile. The “Sepak” will follow a parabolic path called trajectory especially if air resistance is negligible. Two coordinates are usually used to describe projectile motion: horizontal and vertical axes. The horizontal distance traveled by the projectile is called the range. While the vertical distance‚ that is‚ the distance from where

The Physics and Components of Medieval Projectile Launchers Before the age of cannons‚ gunpowder‚ and modern warfare‚ projectiles were fired using machines generally identified as catapults. Civilizations in the middle ages were the ones to use the catapult the most‚ utilizing basic laws of physics to hit their target. We will look at different designs in catapults and how they function. Even today‚ launching projectiles is a lesson in physics. Catapults are no exception. From the great minds of

is thrown‚ hurled or shot in the air‚ the object is a PROJECTILE (“Projectile”). The study of projectile is important because it must be realized that they are very much part of man’s daily life then and now. Whether man likes it or not‚ he encounters and uses projectile in his everyday life. Our hunting ancestors threw stones and spears on animals to kill them for their food. In today’s sports‚ balls follow projectile motion such as when a basketball player shoots the ball into
