Activity $1$: Questions

$1.$ Did the sphere in the experiment always land exactly where predicted? If not, why was there a difference between the distance calculated and the distance measured?

$2.$ Why is it important to use the grooved ruler to ensure that the sphere leaves the table in a horizontal direction?

$3.$ If the same experiment were performed on the moon, what would be different?

$4.$ What is different about the vertical component of the sphere$$s velocity and the horizontal component of the sphere$$s velocity once the sphere leaves the table?
