In this investigation, students study projectile motion by exploring two-dimensional motion and how vectors are used to describe the trajectory of an object.
Because perpendicular vectors do not affect each other, the vertical and horizontal motion of the projectile are independent and can be considered separately, using a separate set of …

Projectile Motion
To study projectile motion, the following assumptions are made. The resistance o ered by air do the projected particle is negligibly small. The acceleration due to gravity g remains a constant …
Projectile motion can be treated as two rectilinear motions, one in the horizontal direction experiencing zero acceleration and the other in the vertical direction experiencing constant …
Projectile motion is the motion describing the motion of falling objects, or projectiles. Essentially this lab describes the science behind things such as rockets and cannon balls.
To use kinematic equations to analyze and solve angle-launched projectile problems. This projectile simulator allows students to alter the launch speed, launch height and launch angle …
examples of projectiles. A projectile is any object that moves through the air or space, acted on only by gravity (and air resistance, if any). Projectiles near the surface of Earth follow a curved …
