Lab Exercise Analyzing Projectile Motion

PROBLEM: What Projectile Lab Is the relationship between the vertical displacement and the horizontal displacement of

Purpose: APPARATUS: two paper strips (1.5 m long) carbon and projectile launcher To determine the relationship between vertical displacementpaper the horizontal displacement for a target holder plumb line clamp projectile launched with a specific and constant horizontal velocity. metre stick Apparatus:
Launcher
Target holder

a projectfle fired with a specific and constant horizontal velocity?

Line

Method:

THOD:

1. 2.

Mark off the following horizontal distances on the paper strip that goes on the floor. 0.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 40.0 cm, 60.0 cm, 80.0 cm, 100.0 cm, 120.0 cm Clamp Projectile Launcher to the desk. Tape the paper strip from Step 1 on the floor so that the 0.0 mark is at the point of the plumb bob. Tape your target paper strip to the target holder. On the target paper mark on the height from which the ball is launched. Then place the carbon paper over top of the paper strip on the target holder. Place the target at the 20.0 cm mark. Fire the projectile. Then set the target at the next horizontal displacement and fire again. Measure the vertical displacement for each horizontal displacement and display your observations In an appropriate table. DetermIne the proportionality between the two variables.

Analysis:

Conclusions:

5. 6.

ANALYSIS: 1. Sources of Error: 2

3. Make a new Additional Requirements: table that is necessary to find the correct relationship between the two variables. From this relationship, determine the launch velocity of the projectile launcher.

Performance: Why is this important? CONCLUSIONS: State

4.

DetermIne the relationship between the two variables. the relationship between the vertical and horizontal displacement for the projectile in this lab.

If were researching ballistics and projectiles, were going to put it to work. The projectile launcher JURCES OF desk, at will sit on the ERROR: a 30 angle. Clicked to the third position, I want you to put a ring clamp at the horizontal distance where the projectile will pass through it, and I want you to put a catch can on the ground. Get the ball through both and you get full marks for this portion, get the ball through one and you get 50%. Show all calculations:
