Name Date Period Projectile Motion Alternative lab Purpose: Being able to apply what we have learned in class into a real-life half-range projectile motion demonstration. Directions: For this lab, you will be sending an object off a horizontal surface. You need to measure the height it is sent at and how far it goes. Using that information, calculate the velocity the object left at. A couple of key things. First, a desk is ideal, but the higher you get the better. Second, you want an object that does not have air resistance, so paper is no good. You also want to make sure you do not harm the floor that the object is landing on. Lastly, you can do your measurements in feet and inches, but you must convert it to meters before you calculate. Good luck Diagram: Draw a diagram of your apparatus List of materials: Data Chart: 1 2 3 4 5 Ax Ay Vx Derive and give the equation you use to calculate the horizontal velocity
