Aim: The aim of this experiment is to complete an investigation on focusing how a single factor will change the range of a projectile. The whole purposes initiates around focusing what the properties of a projectile motion are, referring to speed being able to be calculated from the stated range. Throughout the lab, the main focus had been to evaluate and understand what exactly can affect the range of a projectile launcher, this refers to the mass being the focus of this experiment as three balls of different weights had been used and launched from a high elevation to a lower elevation in order to understand how mass and launching angles can affect the certain range of the balls used. In order to fulfill the aim of this investigation, measurements have to be clearly and constantly stated to figure out how the mass and angle affects the speed of the objects.
Hypothesis: Throughout the experiment the main aim concludes around focusing throughout the stated range from a variety of objects being launched from a projectile launcher and being …show more content…

Set up the projectile launcher, preferably throughout a lot of space.
2. Measure the mass of the basketball, softball and tennis ball using a weighing scale and record the data in your book
3. Use the 1 meter ruler to measure 8 meters accurately from the tip of the launcher, mark ½ meters to allow results to be easily stated and more precise.
4. Place the object precisely at the top of the projectile launcher, at 10 inches height and allow the object to properly glide down the slope until it is brought to a stop.
5. Use the stopwatch to calculate the time taken from the top of the launcher until it is brought to a full stop.
6. Complete the steps for all three objects and state the measurements into the notebook.
7. Use the horizontal range to calculate he speed: distance/ time and R=SiT and Vi=R/T to calculate the present

Fill beaker with water Use the disposable pipette to place water in the graduated cylinder until the unidentified object would be completely submerged in water Record what the measurement of water in milliliters before placing the unidentified object into the graduated cylinder Gently place the unidentified object into the graduated cylinder Record the measurement of the water in milliliters after placing the unidentified object into the graduated cylinder Subtract the measurement of water in milliliters before placing the unidentified object into the graduated cylinder from the measurement of the water in milliliters after placing the unidentified object into the graduated cylinder, this is the volume of the unidentified object Record the volume (the answer you got in step 10) of the unidentified object in the data table Weigh the unidentified object on the scale, this is the mass of the unidentified object Record that number in the data table Calculate the density of the object by dividing the mass by the volume and rounding it to the proper significant figure, Record the density of the unidentified object in the data table Repeat the lab 2 more times and with each experiment record the data in the chart under the correct trial number corresponding with the correct

Cycle 1 Review Sheet, Part 1 25 August 2014 From time to time this semester I will hand out a “review sheet” which is a condensed summary of what I consider some of the more important topics and key concepts from the lectures. Remember in this class, the lectures define the range of content that you are responsible for, not the text. This is especially pertinent because of the cyclical nature of the class. If I indicate a point here in a review sheet this means that this is something I want to emphasize. 1-D Kinematics: Definitions: vave ≡ ∆x ∆t

My project is about how temperature and air pressure affect the distance a football can be thrown. When the air is warmer the molecules move faster and spread apart, therefore making the air pressure lower and making the ball lighter. But when the air is cooler the molecules move slower and move closer together, making the air pressure higher making the ball

Data Analysis The scientific question that was asked in this experiment was,”What is the best angle to shoot a paintball to achieve the farthest distance possible?” The hypothesis of the experiment was,” If a paintball is shot at a 50 degree angle, than the paintball will travel the farther than any other angle tested.” The independent variable is the angle of degrees the paintball is shot from and the dependent variable is the distance the paintball travels at the different angles it is shot from. The control variables are the brand of paintball gun, the model of the paintball gun, the type of paintballs being shot from the paintball gun, and the tools used to measure the distance the paintball goes.

This lab covered how to use data to calculate the parallax and distance of items. Measuring angles of objects allows us to calculate the distance of these objects. It is also a way for astronomers to determine the distance of stars and other interstellar objects. I feel this is fundamental in gaining the knowledge of how to determine distances in general.

The answer to this question was unlocked by a Mr. Koosed, who utilizes a simple batting cage as a way to measure launch angles. A formula is provided as distance=height/tan(angle). The goal is to hit a spot at the top of the cage. Mr. Koosed kindly performed the equation with different angles and distances in order to produce the most effective launch angle. Here, the batter should strive for a launch angle of 30 degrees, which can be deduced by hitting the ball upwards towards the top netting, having the ball make contact with the netting 14 feet from where the batter is standing(Lee, Richard.

One of the greatest ways to capture someone’s attention is through art. In its magnitude it is thought provoking, inspiring, depressing and more. The artist can illuminate any kind of emotion in their work and that is a reason as to why it can be so powerful. Art has a long line of history dating back thousands of centuries back, and each era or renaissance helps develop art in some form or fashion. The Italian Renaissance had a big impact on art as well as scientific developments and philosophy.
