Extended Experimental Investigation (EEI) The Physics of Projectile Motion Submitted by: Anna Sunio Submitted to: Mr Mark Lee Final due date: 6th June 2014 The Effect of Launch Angle on Projectile Range of a Tennis Ball Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine the effect of the launching angle on the distance of the projectile, to identify, apply and use the laws of projectile motion to predict the distance at which a projectile will travel when projected at a known angle and velocity
Freefall and Projectile Motion Introduction and Objectives This lab experiment was done to determine the characteristics of free fall and projectile motion in Physics. The motion in which a body is thrown or projected is called Projectile motion while free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it, at least initially. In this experiment, a photogate, a chopper, and a Universal Lab Interface were used to determine the free fall motion of the chopper as it was
equations of motion and energy illustrate how the landing place of a ball bearing swung into a razor blade can be calculated and a target can be placed, predicting this landing spot. Hypothesis Through using Physical Sciences principles I ill be able to place a target in the approximate location of where a ball bearing will land. Introduction Motion and Energy are both related and understanding of both are important in the completion of this experiment. There are four main equations of motion, Vav =
Objectives: To study projectile motion by investigating the flight of a kicked football and determining from what distance you can make a field goal. Procedure: Place the football on a kicking holder on one of the yard lines. Kick the football, aiming for the base, in hopes to the the optimum angle(42°). Using 2 timers, time how long it takes for the football to travel through the air until it hits the ground. Estimate how many yards football traveled using the field lines. Record the data(distance
Chris Walker Martha Kinsler Chemistry Honors 28 November 2015 Background Research. The slingshot is a weapon used by people for generations. It was originally just a strapped sling used to propel rocks. It usually was used as a lightweight hunting weapon and sometimes for defense (Yoder.) People had used it by rapidly spinning the string and letting it go, sending the rock flying at high speeds. It wasn’t until the mid-1800 's that the traditional slingshot we all know of today came into play
Objective The purpose of this experiment was to analyze projectile motion for an object that was launched horizontally and at an angle, and is impacted by gravity and air friction. The study looked at two different scenarios: Varying the range of the launcher that fires a projectile horizontally and how it impacted the time-of-flight: The ranges were short range, medium range, and long range. Varying the range of the launcher as well as the angle of launch and how it impacted the range: The
Purpose The purpose of the lab is to find a projectile’s horizontal velocity and make comparisons of the effects of different inclined planes with the projectile of a ball. Procedure An incline plane was constructed on the edge of a table at no particular angle. There was at least five centimeters between the edge of the table and the bottom of the inclined plane. A box was placed directly in front of the table to “catch” the ball that would eventually be rolled down the incline plane. Carbon
Fore! A Newtonian and Projectile Motion Study of the Golf Swing Physics Around Campus Tim Stoddard Physics 102 Spring 2015 Figure 1 below depicts a snap shot of the compact and physics-ridden entity known as a golf swing. Taken at my home in Olympia, WA, this picture was taken moments before the impact between my driver and the Titleist Pro V1 golf ball. The game of golf is riddled with physics concepts governing everything from the power generated in the swing, to every
when someone is shot with a bullet they began to accelerate backwards from the point of rest, but is this movie myth realistic? Or impracticable? Well, unfortunately this movie myth is false, this is because of Newton’s third law of motion. Newton’s third law motion states ‘’When a first body exerts a force F1 on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force F2 = -F1 on the first body. This means that F1 and F2 are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction." You can actually observe
city from a cannon. Complete Part C: Using the program Projectile Motion available at: http://phet.colorado.edu/sims/projectile-motion/projectile-motion_en.html the data for angle, weight, Air resistance, distance, and speed could be calculated. The first thing that had to be determined was how much the person (Suzan) was going to weigh, because it was determined impolite to ask an average 70kg was decided on for the weight of the projectile
