Projectery
Diagram
Method
The A3 sheet of white paper was attached to the board, with drawing pins, and the board was placed underneath a book, to put it on a slight incline. Using a protractor, lines were drawn on as a guide for where to line up the marble. The lines were drawn at 30 O, all the way to 70 O, at 5O intervals. A runner was needed to drop the marble down to the inclined board. A piece of card was used, that was bent in half to create a runway. Wherever the marble went off the board, was marked. The result was confirmed by measuring from the point the marble was thrown to the point it fell of the board.
We produced the test a couple of times to find the best results.

Conclusion
Prediction: At 45 degrees the marble will travel the longest.
At 45 O the vertical velocity and the horizontal velocity are the same.
Example:
In the vertical direction the object decelerates at 10ms-2(approx).
It will take exactly 1 second for it to reach its maximum height. This is because of the following. 10ms-2 means every second velocity decreases by 10ms-1. It will take half a second to decrease by 5ms-1. Therefore, 5/10 = 0.5, Decrease in velocity / deceleration. 2 x 0.5 = 1second.
During this one second, the object will travel a horizontal distance.
Range = horizontal velocity x time
= 5 x 1
= 5m
The experiment that has been undertaken here has gone slightly off course simply because of the prediction being 45 O. This experiment has shown that it reached its height at 60 O, which could have been interrupted by several things. The things that could have altered the final results are the following:
The runway may not have been perfectly on level with the lines of angle.
The board wasn’t at same height.
The speed of movement at the beginning from the marble.
The runway wasn’t steady.
The runway may have been at different heights.
To produce a fairer test, an average could have been taken, or a more suitable runway. I believe that a bigger board and easier lines to follow would have made it much easier and more accurate.
How applied to sport?
Projectery is used in almost every sport, e.g.
Javelin: When throwing the javelin.
Shot put: When throwing the shot put.
Football: When kicking the ball.
Projectery is used in sport as many use this to judge the best way to be able to get the distance that they want.
[8.3] In what ways do you think your results would have been different if you had sampled at a different height on the rock?
The goal of this experiment is to develop a theory, which allows us to understand the motion of a marble.
the length of the slope can be used to calculate the speed of the car
The purpose of this experiment was to make an object buoyant by adding a sufficient amount of extra volume to displace the water necessary.

Possible sources of error in this experiment include the inaccuracy of measurements, as correct measurements are vital for the experiment.
Then we used the calculated slope and the accepted value of 980 cm/s2 to calculate the experimental error:
Finally, the experiment conducted in this report clearly shows that when a ball is dropped from a
In the future, the experiment can be improved by making sure that changes above, if required, are done before the first trial of the first run starts. Another problem was that the 3-step pulley moved slightly every time a trial was conducted. This could be prevented for the future labs by have a 3-step pulley that more resistible to movement. With these improvements, future laboratory might get more accurate results.
Tests cannot always measure everything that needs to be measured on a course or what a st...

Have you ever wondered why the bouncy ball that fell from the counter didn’t rise back up to the same height it fell from? Well, we put this mystery to end once and for all. To crack this mystery I teamed up with Diana and her camera skills, Allyn and her meter stick., and me with my laser thermometer. After much Documentation, Analyzation, and update briefings to Chief Rothacker. We cracked the case and found that the ball doesn’t rise back up to the same height because. It loses its Mighty potential energy to sound and heat.
The scientific question investigated in this experiment was, “Which household object, when catapulted at a 45 degree angle, will travel the farthest?” The hypothesis in this experiment was, “If four household objects are catapulted at a 45 degree angle, then the standard white dice will travel the farthest.” The independent variable in this experiment is changing the object launched. The dependent variable in this experiment is the change in distance traveled. The control variables are using the same catapult, tape measure, location, and maintaining the same launch angle. The control group is the catapult which remains the same throughout the experiment. The experimental group consists of the four objects being catapulted. The procedures for this experiment go as follows: Step three, place an item in the cup on the arm of the catapult. Step four, pull back the arm until it cannot go back any further. Step five, carefully release the arm which will catapult the object into the air. Step six, record where the object initially lands.
There is also the potential of human error within this experiment for example finding the meniscus is important to get an accurate amount using the graduated pipettes and burettes. There is a possibility that at one point in the experiment a chemical was measured inaccurately affecting the results. To resolve this, the experiment should have been repeated three times.
...rks. In a word, the MA experience was considered to be a bridge that combines the student learning with working skills, it would be of great help for my future career.
