    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

    Projectiles Practical Report 1. Introduction Velocity is a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion or‚ in other terms‚ the rate and direction of the change in the position of an object. [1] Velocity can be found many ways through various suvat Equations and their rearranged forms. For example v2=u2+2as in which the square of the final velocity can be found if you know the objects initial velocity‚ the acceleration and the distance travelled. Using such formulae makes it possible

    Procedures: Create a ramp that can be a repeatable launcher for your marble‚ one in which the marble will not bounce once hitting ground surface. Take 2 photogates and place them 10 centimeters apart‚ along the edge of the table. (d) The photogates are instruments that will time the marbles speed. Measure the height (h) carefully‚ in which is vertical to the floor. Time the marble several times as you launch it from the ramp; make sure to catch the marble as it leaves the table. Use the

    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

    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

    Projectile Motion You have probably watched a ball roll off a table and strike the floor. What determines where it will land? Could you predict where it will land? In this experiment‚ you will roll a ball down a ramp and determine the ball’s velocity with a pair of Photogates. You will use this information and your knowledge of physics to predict where the ball will land when it hits the floor.

    College Physics 1 Lab - Section 001 CP1 Lab Report - Projectile Motion October 12‚ 2009 The purpose of Lab Assignment 1 was to analyze projectile motion. In doing so‚ we determined the initial velocity of the ball shot horizontally from the spring loaded projectile launcher. Also‚ we verified the angle at which the projection of the ball would produce a maximum range. Lastly‚ we predicted the range that a ball would travel at a certain angle‚ theta. Projectile motion is the motion
