    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

      Problem Type 2: A projectile is launched at an angle to the horizontal and rises upwards to a peak while moving horizontally. Upon reaching the peak‚ the projectile falls with a motion that is symmetrical to its path upwards to the peak. Predictable unknowns include the time of flight‚ the horizontal range‚ and the height of the projectile when it is at its peak. Examples of this type of problem are a. A football is kicked with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 45-degrees with the

    Investigating Projectiles Background: A projectile is an entity which only has the force of gravity acting upon it. A projectile can be cast‚ fired‚ flung‚ heaved‚ hurled‚ pitched‚ tossed and thrown. A projectile can be anything as long as it has initial horizontal velocity that is not equal to zero which has the acceleration due to gravity. Projectile motion happens when an object projected with a force stops putting influence on the object after its launched‚ hence the only force being gravity

    Projectile Motion Objectives: The purpose of this experiment is to examine the projectile motion of a ball launched horizontally. The initial velocity will be calculated. The range of the ball will be measured. Theory: Horizontal launch of the ball allows computing the initial velocity v0 by measuring the height of the launch and the distance traveled by the ball: h=‚ s=v0 ∙ t Solving these parametric equations for v0 gives us: 0=s Where h and s are defined from the

    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 gravity

    Projectile Motion Experiment # 4 Introduction: Projectile Motion exists commonly in our everyday lives and is particularly evident in the motion or flight of objects which are projected from a particular height. The key to working with projectile motion is recognizing that when an object with mass is flying through the air‚ its motion is a combination of vertical and horizontal movements. Although the horizontal velocity of the object remains constant throughout the flight‚ it’s vertical velocity

    A projectile is any object that is given an initial velocity and follows a path determined by the effects of gravitational acceleration and air resistance. Projectile motion is the act of projecting an object into the air at an angle when a curved path is an object follows when thrown or propelled near the surface of the earth.For example: a thrown football‚ an object dropped from an airplane‚ or a bullet shot from a gun.Projectile motion may only be used to solve mechanics problems

    Experiment 4 Projectile Motion Introduction We examined projectile motion by observing a ball rolling down then leaving the ramp‚ thus becoming a projectile with a horizontal initial velocity. We measured the horizontal initial velocity using the photogate and computer. We measured the horizontal and vertical distances that the projectile traveled from the end of the ramp to when it hit the floor my using a meter stick to measure Experimental Set-Up In our experiment‚ we used the following:
