This prelab is heavily based on the lab itself. Read the lab to understand what the questions in this prelab are asking. 1) A student measures a height of 1.27 m for the gun when it is positioned horizontally a) Calculate the time it will take for the ball to hit the ground when launched. b) The ball travels 1.5 meters horizontally before hitting the ground. Using equation 1 in the theory calculate the launch velocity of the gun 2) The gun is now angled at 30 degrees. The new launch height is 1.32 m. a) Using the velocity you calculated above, calculate the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) components of the launch velocity of the angled gun. b) Using equation 6 in the theory, calculate the time it will take the ball to hit the ground when launched at 30 degrees. c) Calculate the estimated horizontal distance traveled by the ball when launched from the angled gun. 3) The student fires the gun and measures the horizontal distance traveled by the ball as 1 85 m One way to compare two values is called percent difference, which is magnitude of the difference between the values divided by their average: %difference = x 100% a) Calculate the percent difference between the distance measured by the student, and the estimated distance you calculated in 2b
