Motion Lab - Abstract You will determine the horizontal distance travelled by

a horizontally launched projectile from a known height.

Objectives - After completing today's experiment, you will be able to:

• Describe in words from your experiences how the principles of projectile motion impact where a object flying through the air will land
• Relate your experiment to a USEFUL REAL WORLD APPLICATION (you can specify this in #4 below)
• Consider further analysis

Materials/Procedure/Data: Use video you recorded and measurement to gather data from your home setup - decide on the units you will use and

how you will record them.

Analysis: Use the principles of projectile motion to determine where to place your target using only the initial horizontal tabletop velocity you

calculated and the measured vertical height. Once you've done your calculation place your target accordingly, launch your projectile

(marble, gold ball, ....) and record where it lands. Calculate your % error ( you may find it will be more than 15%) between your

calculated prediction and where the projectile landed.
