Experiment 2: Projectile Motion - Illinois Institute of ...
In this lab we will study two dimensional projectilemotion of an object in free fall - that is, an object that is launched into the air and then moves under the in uence of gravity alone. Examples of projectiles include rockets, baseballs, reworks, and the steel balls that will be used in this lab.
Experiment 2: Projectile motion and conservation of energy
In our case we only care about the potential energy associated with the presence of a gravitational field. The expression for this energy near the surface of the Earth is: Piece of cake! Estimating the amount of energy lost because of friction. This is needed to describe the motion realistically. The ball starts here... ...
Physics 31210 Lab 2 - University of Notre Dame
Physics 31210 Lab 2PROJECTILEMOTION Introduction: By rolling a steel marble down a ramp and measuring its horizontal range, you can calculate the marble's launch velocity. To confirm this velocity with an independent measurement, you can use a photogate.
Experiment 2 – Free Fall and Projectile Motion
Learn how to solve projectilemotion problems. Understand that the acceleration due to gravity is constant (9.8 m/s2) and downward toward the center of the Earth. Understand that the horizontal motion and the vertical motion are decoupled. You will be pressed for time during the lab.
Projectile Motion - Department of Physics and Astronomy
In this lab you will study the motion of a freely-falling projectile, namely a small plastic sphere. Projectile motion, for our purposes, is the motion of an object that has been launched and then is subject to only the force of gravity and the force of air friction.
Physics I – Lab #2 Projectile Motion - Bennington College
In this experiment, you will roll a ball down a ramp and determine the ball’s velocity with a pair of Photogates. You will use this information and your knowledge of physics to predict where the ball will land
Projectile Motion - University of Michigan
So far you have focused on motion in one dimension: x(t). In this lab, you will study motion in two dimensions: x(t) , y(t). This 2D motion, called “projectilemotion”, consists of a ball projected with an initial velocity in the earth’s gravitational field.
Lab 2.Projectile Motion - Washington State University
Lab 2.ProjectileMotionGoals •To determine the launch speed of a projectile and its uncertainty by measuring how far it travels horizontally before landing on the floor (called the range) when launched horizontally from a known height. •To predict and measure the range of a projectile when the projectile is fired at an arbitrary
Projectile Motion Experiment - Massachusetts Institute of ...
Experiment 2: Projectile Motion Introduction The motion of objects under the influence of gravity near the surface of the earth has been one of the outstanding problems of physics. The solution that once air resistance is ignored, all objects near the surface of the earth accelerate uniformly towards the earth
Experiment 2: RANGE OF A PROJECTILE - University of Toronto
EXPERIMENT2: RANGE OF A PROJECTILE Part A: Initial speed as a function of x spring For a fixed value of θ (ie, θ = 30°), make a range measurement for at least 4 different values of x spring. From your measurement of Range, (R ± ΔR), and launch angle, (θ 0 ± Δθ 0), compute the initial speed of the ball v 0, and its error.
