Question 3
Taking the table height as 5𝑚, an initial speed of
15𝑚/𝑠ec. , and the angle of projection as 40°. find
the final landing distance ??
ans:- i,m obtain the final landing distance (range)
to be 27.48 𝑚 .
calculated values:-
experimental values:-
v0 x (m) x (m) x (m) t (s) t (s) t (s)
(m/s (calc) (meas (% (calc (meas (%
) ) error ) ) error
) )
10 10.09 10.1 0.099 1.009 1.01 0.99
Question 10 (a)
ans:- As the initial velocity is increased, the time of
flight does not change.
(b)
ans:- Yes, this is the result I have expected, since
from the equation for 𝑦(𝑡), putting 𝑦(𝑡) = 0 yields
the same result for 𝑡 in all cases.
Question 11
ans:- When the air resistance box is ticked to
enable as such, and the experiment is repeated, I
obtained the following table :-
𝑥 𝑥 𝑡 𝑡
(experiment (experiment (experiment (experiment
al) without al) with air al) without al) with air
air resistance air resistance
resistance resistance
calculated values:-
experimental values:-
v0 x x (m) x (m) t (s) t (s) t (s)
(m/s (m) (meas (% (calc (meas (%
) (calc ) error ) ) error
) ) )
10 14.20 14.21 0.070 1.64 1.64 0
(b)
ans:- This is in accordance with my expectations,
due to the factor of 𝑣𝑠in(𝜃) present in the kinematic
equations.
Question 22
ans:-
Upon adding air resistance using the checkbox and
repeating the experiment, I obtained the following
values.
𝑥 𝑥 𝑡 𝑡
(experiment (experiment (experiment (experiment
al) without al) with air al) without al) with air
air resistance air resistance
