Projectile motion
Principle A steel ball is fired by a spring at different velocities and at different angles to the horizontal. The relationships between the range, the height of projection, the angle of inclination,and the firing velocity are determined. Tasks 1. 2. 3.
To determine the range as a function of the angle of inclination. To determine the maximum height of projection as a function of the angle of inclination. To determine the (maximum) range as a function of the initial velocity.
