Projectile motion into physics Objective: Our purpose for this lab was to observe projectile motion and use the equations of motion to predict the objects location in different instances of time. We used a projectile launcher and a ball to observe these properties of motion. The main equation used in this lab was d=Vit+1/2at^2 where Vit will produce the distance due to constant motion and 1/2at^2 will produce distance traveled due to accelerated motion or gravity in this case. Introduction:

Introduction In this lab the main focus was projectile motion. A projectile is an object flying through the air that is only under the force of gravity (neglecting air resistance). A projectile moves both horizontally and vertically‚ which creates a parabolic flight path. In vertical projectile motion there is a constant velocity since there are no forces in the horizontal direction (neglecting drag due to air resistance). Consequently‚ there is no acceleration in horizontal projectile motion. In vertical

Projectile Motion Purpose: Apply the concepts of two-dimensional kinematics (projectile motion) to predict the impact point of an object as its velocity increases. Introduction: The most common example of an object that is moving in two dimensions is a projectile. A projectile is an object upon which the only force acting is gravity. That is to say a projectile is any object that once projected or dropped continues in motion by its own‚ and is influenced only by the downward force

Projectile Motion The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally‚ the initial velocity of the ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity‚ the projectile range will be measured for various initial angles‚ and also calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. For further background information‚ refer to the sections in your textbook on projectile motion and

Investigating Projectile Motion Introduction Projectile motion is a type of motion that consists of horizontal and vertical motions which are independent from each other‚ known as vector components. For an object to be considered a projectile‚ it must not be self-propelled. Projectiles move horizontally at a constant velocity. However‚ they undergo uniform acceleration in the vertical direction‚ which is caused by gravity. An important aspect of projectile motion is that the time it takes
