MARTINEZ 3 The table shows the landing locations of the projectile for three different launch angles: 30 degrees, 45 degrees, and 60 degrees. Each launch angle was repeated ten times, and the distances traveled by the projectile (in cm) were recorded. Observation: while the launch angle is increasing, similarly, the distance traveled by the projectile seems to be increasing. Analysis (Post-lab Questions) 1. To calculate the average distance traveled by the plastic cap for each launching angle, we sum up the distances for each angle and divide by the number of trials. Average distance for 30º launch Angle = ( 15.2 + 16.5 + 14.9 + 15.1 + 15.8 + 16.2 + 15.5 + 15.9 + 16.3 + 15.7 ) 10 = 15.8 cm Average distance for 45º Launch Angle = 20.1 + 19.8 + 20.2 + 20.0 + 19.9 + 20.3 + 19.7 + 20.4 + 20.6 + 20.2 ¿ ¿ 10 = 20.1 cm Average distance for 60º Launch Angle = ( 23.6 + 24.1 + 24.2 + 23.9 + 24.3 + 23.8 + 24.4 + 23.7 + 23.5 + 24.0 ) 10 = 23.9 cm 2.
