Date:___________ Projectiles Simulation: Go to the Phet Website and open the projectiles lab https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/projectile-motion Choose lab from the choices that come up 1. Sketch what you think the graph of these projected objects will look like: cannonball, piano 2. Try it. Launch a tank-shell at a 75-degree angle. What does function look like? Sketch it. 3. What type of function is modeled by these projected objects?_________________ 4. Are these functions positive or negative?________________________ 5. When you launch a baseball at a 65-degree angle you are given values for Range, Height and Time. Record these values. 6. What are these values? (HINT think graphically...and no not the gory kind, but the math kind) 7. If you launch a bowling ball at a 60-degree angle, how far do you think it will go? Try it. Record the range. 8. Do you think this distance will change when you launch a heavier object? WHY or WHY NOT? 9. Try it...launch a human...sketch the graph....how about a Buick.... Did the graph change from object to object? Why is this? 10. Can you hit the target with a pumpkin? What was the angle needed? How many tries did it take you to make it? 11
