Projectile 2 Lab Report Kelsy Ecclesiastre and Sara Lopez AP Physics 1 Period 6 Objective/Purpose: To correctly identify the range of a projectile when fired above the horizontal axis with only a meter stick (i.e. no timer). Background: According to Henderson, speed is how far an object travels during a specific amount of time and does not include the direction. Velocity can be explained as the speed of an object, but also including the direction the object is heading towards (Henderson, 2015). Giancoli

Speed of a Projectile Propelled by a Solenoid Student: Octavio Alonso Cuesta De La Rosa Consultant: Evan Simmers Supervising teacher: Kent Hogan Assessor: Write your aim, need or opportunity, with an explanation of why it was worth achieving: My aim was to calculate the velocity of a ferrous projectile propelled by a solenoid. Originally I planned to build my own coil gun and use it for testing, but as time grew shorter and hardly any progress was made on the project

this experiment, we are measuring the difference in how far a projectile travels based on its angle. To use the mathematical model to find this, we must measure the initial velocity and the angle used to launch the projectile.The independent variables in this case are the initial velocities and the angles, while the dependent variable is the distance traveled by the projectile. Not shown above are the cables attaching the projectile launcher to a LabQuest device to allow the collection of data,

Extended Experimental Investigation (EEI) The Physics of Projectile Motion Submitted by: Anna Sunio Submitted to: Mr Mark Lee Final due date: 6th June 2014 The Effect of Launch Angle on Projectile Range of a Tennis Ball Aim: The aim of this experiment is to determine the effect of the launching angle on the distance of the projectile, to identify, apply and use the laws of projectile motion to predict the distance at which a projectile will travel when projected at a known angle and velocity

American citizens the right to keep and bear arms. Many people own firearms, whether it is a handgun, rifle, or shotgun, but not everyone knows how they function. The process is a bit more complex than to pull a trigger, some magic happens, and the projectile accelerates out of the barrel of the firearm. Every person who owns a firearm should be educated on the physics of how a firearm functions. Once you are confident with your shot on a target, pull the trigger. The specific mechanics from the trigger

learn about projectiles, trajectory, and the factors that affect these things. The first thing to know for the project, is what a projectile is. A projectile is any object cast, fired, flung, hurled, pitched, tossed, thrown, or propelled in any sort of way, by an external force and continues in motion by its own inertia. A projectile is most commonly referred to as a missile designed to be fired from a rocket or gun. You also need to understand how trajectory is related to a projectile. The trajectory

bullets. The video gave an overview of the projectiles themselves and also showed the method in which they are to be loaded. The video began by stating that the projectiles were sent to him to be tested and he did not swage the swaged projectiles that are being shown in the video. The projectiles were unique in the fact that the person that swaged them used a die that would allow the used brass from a .40 S&W to be formed into a jacket for a .451 caliber projectile that are to used to load .45 ACP.

transfer of energy, heat engines, and projectile motion. (The Physics of Shooting a Gun, n.d.) History Of Firearms The history of firearms begins in China in the ninth century where, huo yao, the world’s first gun powder was discovered; it was created by mixing charcoal, potassium nitrate and sulphur into a fine powder. Historians are prone to recognizing tenth century Chinese fire lances, a spear-like weapon combining a bamboo tube containing huo yao and projectiles tied to a Chinese spear as the first

description of the .30 caliber projectile, what considers the projectile to be a .30 caliber projectile, the vast number of .30 caliber specific ammunition available today and why it is the most common and popular caliber to date. A .30 caliber is considered so due to the size of the projectile itself not by the cartridge. That is where most people get confused. If you look back our old U.S. Model M1 Carbine was a .30 caliber rifle. When talking about a .30 caliber projectile you are generally talking

According to Young and Ortmeier (2011), the forensic value of firearm and ballistics evidence is associated with the ability to link the firearm to the crime and the shooter. Markings and striations of the firearm on expended cartridge casings and projectile discovered at a crime are collected and compared to known bullets in a database of known firearm types and test-fired bullets. By checking these national databases, the firearm can be linked to several crimes or not connected to any crimes whatsoever
