What is the purpose of projectile motion lab?
The purpose of this experiment is to predict and verify the range and the time-of-flight of a projectile launched at an angle. To predict the range of the projectile when it is shot off a table at some angle above the horizontal, it is necessary first to determine the initial speed (muzzle velocity) of the ball.
Is PhET a virtual lab?
The PhET (formerly “Physics Education Technology”) Interactive Simulations project has developed over 120 simulations for teaching and learning science and mathematics, grade school through grad school – available free at http://phet.colorado.edu.
What is maximum range?
The greatest distance a weapon can fire without consideration of dispersion.
What is the purpose of a projectile motion lab?
Projectile Motion The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally, the initial velocity of the ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity, the projectile range will be measured for various initial angles,
What is the purpose of projectile motion?
Projectile motion describes the trajectory of the projectile and is only dependent on the initial speed, the launch angle, and the acceleration due to gravity.
What are the types of projectile motion?
Types of Projectile Motion : (1) Oblique projectile motion. (2) Horizontal projectile motion. (3) Projectile motion on an inclined plane. What is a Type 2 projectile? A “Type 2” Projectile Motion problem is one where a projectile is launched with a 2D initial velocity vector, and it returns back to the same height when it lands.
What are the laws of projectile motion?
Projectile motion is the motion of an object projected into the air,which moves under the influence of gravity.
