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

Megan McIlvoy Grade: Instructor: JPS Physics I Laboratory Worksheet Lab 4: Projectile Motion Objectives: Using a projectile gun on an incline plane‚ calculate the velocity of the steel ball at ten different distances‚ then find the average velocity. In order to find the velocity of the steel ball two different equations are needed. In order to find the velocity of the steel ball fired from the projectile gun on an inclined plane‚ the first equation must be manipulated and substituted

A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. Many projectiles not only undergo a vertical motion‚ but also undergo a horizontal motion. That is‚ as they move upward or downward they are also moving horizontally. There are the two components of the projectile’s motion - horizontal and vertical motion. And since perpendicular components of motion are independent of each other‚ these two components of motion can be discussed separately. The goal of this part of the lesson is

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

Projectile motion is a form of motion in which an object is thrown near the earth’s surface‚ causing it to move along a curved path under the action of gravity only. An example would be a football quarterback‚ when a quarterback throws the football in the air it goes upward and then travels back downward due to gravity. Gravity is the only force of significance that acts on the object which causes a downward acceleration. For example if Cam Newton throws a football over a long

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.

AP Physics HW #1 Multiple Choice 1. A car travels 30 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour and then 30 miles at an average speed of 30 miles per hour. The average speed the car over the 60 miles is (A) 35 m.p.h. (B) 40 m.p.h. (C) 45 m.p.h. (D) 10 m.p.h. (E) 53 m.p.h. Answer: B. Method: Vavg = Δx/Δt The average speed is the total distance traveled‚ divided by the total time. They give us all distances traveled is‚ so we just need to find the time. We find the time‚ by applying
