Projectile Motion Lab Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to find how changing the angle and velocity would affect the distance the object went, height the object went, and time the object was in the air. Before this lab I could not tell how the angle and velocity would change the results. I needed to figure out what angle and what velocity made the object go farther or make it stay in the air longer. I also found mass will affect the height and distance. I used the site Galileo and
Lynch, Mary Partners: Hicks, Black; Kroeger, Erik; Carper, Mike Motion: Projectile Motion TA: Meghna Bhattacharya (Section 4) February 28, 2017 OBJECTIVE This object of the experiment was to demonstrate the average distance the ball traveled when shot from the spring gun. The test was used to show how the angle of elevation and initial velocity will affect where the ball is estimated to land. Using data collected on average distance found in part one of the experiment, you were then able to calculate
Investigating Free-falling Objects and Projectile Motions Aim: The aim of my experiment is to obtain results/ data and see whether a pattern can be distinguished or whether my data agrees with a theory or law. I'm going to try to undergo two investigations using the same apparatus, and look at the outcome of my results and see whether a firm conclusion can be made. For the two investigations, I'm going to look at free-falling objects and projectile motions: Investigation 1: Isaac Newton
basketball. Whether jumping for the ball, or leaping for a slam dunk, the human body follows the same laws of projectile motion as do other objects. The sport that includes shooting, passing, running, and dribbling involves topics covered in physics such as force, friction, effects of air resistance, velocity, air pressure and energy. Basketball also involves factors such as projectile motion in making a basket, gravity and its effects on passing and dribbling, and Newton’s First and Third Law on passing
Examining Projectile Motion Introduction When I was younger, I’d always worry about not being able to reach an object or be able to score a goal in sports. Especially because of my short height, I’d have to find creative ways in order to achieve these things. Projectile motion is just a fancy way of describing the efforts I had to go through in order to throw a basketball into the hoop at a certain height, or hit a golf ball at a certain angle in order to aim it. Projectile motion is used in our
Introduction Projectile motion is key component in everyday life. Whether it’s a football player kicking the ball to score a winning field goal or a frustrated student crumpling up a piece of paper and tossing it into the trash can, projectile motion is all arounds us. The idea of projectile motion was taught to us by varying physicists like Aristotle and Galileo. Using Aristotle's original notion that shot objects stay along a straight path until its impetus is lost, the famous physicist Galileo
Projectile motion is a section of calculus that studies the motion of an object through air as it experiences the force of gravity. In today’s
In this term paper, I will be relating projectile motion to personal experiences, movies, TV show, and Previous knowledge. In the first Unit of class we talked about motion in one dimension, but in this unit we talked about motion two dimensional. One example of a two dimensional motion is projectile motion. Projectile motion is when an object has an initial force that is applied to it to begin its motion. After the object starts its motion there is no longer a force that is being applied. At this
appropriate to shoot from. There are a lot of factors to keep in mind when doing this. Such as the velocity of your arrow, the optimal height you want, and the distance you want to cover. In my exploration, I wanted to see how the different aspects of projectile motion would affect the compound bow and the conve... ... middle of paper ... ...arrow to reach optimal height and back down. Once I got the value of the gravity, I found that it would be helpful in figuring out the time (t) that it takes the arrow
Angular projectile motion is used to calculate how far an object with an initial velocity that is projected at an angle to the horizontal will travel horizontally. It can also be used to calculate the maximum height reached by the object and how long it was in the air for. When solving angular projectile motion problems, one must consider the following steps. To begin with one must calculate the horizontal acceleration of the object, keeping in mind that the vertical acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 due
concept describing objects in motion, to explore projectile motion in two dimensions. The kinematics of motion can be expressed by certain equations, which show the relationships between velocity, acceleration, time, and displacement. Two experiments were conducted to utilize two specific equations; one by launching a ball horizontally to investigate the time of flight, and another by launching the ball at different angles to determine its horizontal range. A projectile launcher was used to carry out
Projectile motion: mathematics SL IA Dhruv Chavan Rationale: This idea was chosen due to my background in sports. I have played basketball for the past 6 years 2 of which have been in Raha. Basketball is a sport which involves many aspects of mathematics, the main one being trigonometry. I have found that many times during the game I am required to shoot the ball from distances that exceed the three-point line and therefore require more power in order for the ball to reach the rim. In most games
fall off of the track when it goes through a loop? The answer to these questions and others about roller coasters lies in the application of basic physics principals. These principals include potential and kinetic energy, gravity, velocity, projectile motion, centripetal acceleration, friction, and inertia. The basic design of a roller coaster consists of a train like coaster that starts out at the bottom of the tallest hill of the ride. The train is then pulled up the hill and is pulled to the

We will focus mainly on projectile motion, but we will also discuss the challenges the programmers had in computing ranges for projectiles, friction, and momentum. Also touched on, will be how they succeeded and failed in their efforts. Challenges In Tribes™, the programmers had to create an environment for the players. The challenge
the ball and the field the slower the ball will roll. How physics students cheat! When dealing with projectile motion physics students are normally allowed the assumption of two things; 1) The free-fall acceleration g is constant over the range of motion and is always directed downward. 2) The effect of air resistance is negligible, meaning there is no air resistance on the projectile. With these assumptions we find that the projectile's path is always a parabola. How this cheating
enthusiastic participants, there would be no development, education, and intensity that we all know and love about sports. The one component that reigns over the world of sports that most people don't realize is physics, Gravity, uniform circular motion, projectile motion, and constant acceleration are a few that occur in every sport event that has ever taken place. In the three articles that I chose to write about the concepts of physics are explained in each one. In every article there is the similarity
the need to achieve maximum accuracy and distance from a projectile has been critical to the survival of the human race. There are numerous of ways to solve the problem ranging from trial and error—as early man did—to advanced mathematics including trigonometry and calculus. (While the specific mathematical operations are beyond the scope of this work, we will briefly touch on the equations of motion and how they apply to projectile motion as the project progresses.) Many activities associated with
new in the world being not much more that a decade old. This game as with other sports would not be possible without physics. Physics is essential to the game of paintball. Some of physics that are involved in paintball are pressurized gas, projectile motion, and the impulse of being hit by a paintball. As with all sports there is necessary equipment needed to play. The most important piece of equipment would be the paintball gun often called a marker. The marker uses compressed carbon dioxide
Fishing contains a wide variety of physics. when you cast you are using projectile motion and rotational motion. when you hook a fish it will often use the drag from the current agenst you. Immagine draging a fish through a swift current. You deal with the tention of your line, and the friction of the line through the guides. you also deal with friction when you use a drag. Reels One of the key components of your fishing gear is the reel. http://www.eangler.com/eangler/proshop/reels.asp
runner is running with the help of a tail wind, the current’s force is reduced and may even be unnoticeable. As I was doing research on this assignment I came across a web page about the effects of gravity on mars as it specifically relates to the projectile path of a curve ball. I know that you cannot believe everything you read, especially when it comes to internet content, but the issue is still worth noting. I will mention this effect when the topic of spin on the ball is discussed. Gravity was
