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

2. LINEAR MOTION In this experiment you will study the motion of an object in one dimension from a number of points of view. You will demonstrate how the variables of motion are related by differentiation and integration and investigate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy. Theory Why Study Motion? Motion is everywhere in the universe. Only at a temperature of absolute zero is the motion in any body truly absent. If motion exists then so also does energy. To the delight of

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.

Background Information Terminal velocity is when a falling object reaches a constant velocity due to a balance in the forces of weight and air resistance. In this experiment‚ we dropped marbles of difference weights in 100 ml of oil to calculate their terminal velocity. Research Question How does the mass of an object effect its terminal velocity? Aim Our aim is to measure the terminal velocity‚ of marbles of different masses‚ in oil. hypothesis Objects of larger mass will take longer to reach

Now click and drag the red ball around the screen. Make 3 observations about the blue and green arrows (also called vectors) as you drag the ball around. The vectors appear to have both direct and inverse relationships with each other. When I move the ball one direction‚ both of the vectors move the

Experiment 1.7: Graphical Analysis of Motion Introduction To graphically analyze motion‚ two graphs are commonly used: Displacement vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time. These two graphs provide significant information about motion including distance/displacement‚ speed/velocity‚ and acceleration. The displacement and acceleration of a moving body can be obtained from its Velocity vs. Time graph by respectively finding the area and the slope of the graph. Data Tables – Part I Displacement
