Projectile Motion Lab: Height and Range

Description

Projectile motion can be used to study kinematics in one and two dimensions. In this lab, a projectile is launched straight up to examine motion in 1 dimension under constant acceleration. The maximum height is measured and compared with the kinematic equations for upward motion.

The experiment a...

Transcript

Kinematics is the description of motion, which is often an important consequence of many physical events and phenomena.

Motion can be one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional. The equations that apply to an object's movement in all these cases use the vector quantities of position - which is displacement with respect to origi...
