1. INTRODUCTION
In this experiment, the topic was about projectile motion which means motion of an object
thrown. The only force that affects the object is gravity assuming that there is no other force such as air
resistance.
2. METHODOLOGY
The main equipments given to us were projectile launcher, metal ball and a target board. Before
launching the projectile, we had to make sure that it touches the end of the launcher because it may reduce
the power given by the launcher. We also had to place two or more carbon papers because the launcher
sometimes does not launch the ball straight.
3. DATA AND RESULTS
The average initial velocity computed from the first part was 4.887m/s. The average initial
velocity was used to
4. ANALYSIS
The analysis section is the most important part of your document. This should contain at least half of
your document, that is, 125 to 200 words. In this section, you start the process of explaining any links
and correlations apparent in your data. In an ideal world, you could simply reject your null or alternative
hypotheses according to the significance levels found by the statistics. That is the main point of this
section, but the process is usually a lot more complex than that. It is rarely clear-cut, and you will need to
interpret your findings. It is also important that you should criticize the experiment, and be honest about
whether your design was good enough. If not, suggest any modifications and improvements that could be
made to the design. Moreover, the analysis section is not always about what you found, but what you did
not find, and how you deal with that. Stating that the results are inconclusive is the easy way out, and you
must always try to pick out something of value. Once writing the analysis section is complete, you can
move onto the next stage, wrapping up the paper with a focused conclusion.
