Projectile motion: Shoot for your grade

Formal lab write up.

You will be grades on two parts. 7 points on the write up. 3 points for the accuracy of your shot.

Laboratory notes are here

Do not make any reference to distance, velocity or acceleration without specifying horizontal or vertical. You will lose credit for each time that you do not reference horizontal or vertical.

• Answer all of the preliminary questions.
  • Additional preliminary question.
    • Sketch out the horizontal velocity vector of the bearing in flight.
      • What is the acceleration in the horizontal direction while in flight?
    • Sketch out the vertical velocity vector of the bearing in flight.
      • What is the acceleration in the vertical direction while in flight?
• Build and include both data tables.
• Show your calculation with the units for the time of flight.
• Show your calculation for the distance in the X-direction.
• Answer all of the analysis questions.
• Attach the instructor signed target or a copy of you group target that is signed to the lab. No signed target - no points.

• Portfolio assesment: Use mathematical models developed from data to predict the behavior of a system outside the realm measured. (Standard 6: Key Idea 5.1.).
