Laboratory Experiment # 1. Projectile Motion Rustem Kushtayev .Physics 161. Section #1 Alisher Uteshev. Physics 161. Section #1 Aman Sariyev. Physics 161. Section #1 Abstract The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally, the initial velocity of the ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity, the projectile range will be, measured for various initial angles, and also calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. Introduction Objects such as golf balls and basketballs that move through the air in a curved path are called projectiles. For a projectile that is launched horizontally and falls towards the ground, the horizontal distance it travels can be predicted in advance from the height off of the ground and the launch velocity. We need to do this laboratory experiment in order to predict the horizontal range of a projectile using measurements of height. Experimental description Apparatus The setup used consists of the set of the projectile launcher, a projectile, a ball, a ruler and the target (clean page). The experiment consists of measuring the range R of a small ball fired from the projectile launcher at various angles from the vertical. The apparatus (see Fig. 1) allows both the angle of projection and the initial velocity to be varied. The angle of projection is measured with protractor, and initial velocity can be varied by adjusting the tension on the projectile launcher with the adjusting knob on the back of the gun. Adjust the projectile launcher to particular range, when fired horizontally and practice firing 10 times for one angle....
