Lab Assignment: Projectile Motion Laboratory:
20 points
Introduction
You are about to start a lab on projectile motion. At the end of the lab, you will submit a lab write-up. Create your write-up as an RTF file, pasting any datasheets and graphs into your document.
This lab will demonstrate the principles behind projectile motion. An object that has constant horizontal velocity and constant vertical acceleration is a projectile.
First, design an experiment you could construct that might measure projectile motion. You will not have to actually conduct that experiment; you will carry out the virtual lab beginning on the next screen.
- What materials would you use?
- What would you measure?
- What results would you expect?
- What if the results were different; what would that indicate?
Use the lab report created here to write your answers; you will be submitting the lab report to your teacher.
