According to Dauben’s article, “Part II: Galileo's Analysis of Projectile Motion," Galileo was an Italian philosopher who made vast contributions to the scientific world, one of which was the principal of projectile motion. Through his observations he was able to accurately explain why projectiles would take the curved paths they do. It was concluded that projectiles travel through two planes, one being horizontal and the other vertical. It was also concluded that this motion on the two planes happened

Lastly, two photogates were placed on the airtrack and the distance (x) between them was measured. Once the photogates were connected to the Pasco Interface and the Pasco Interface were connected to a computer via USB, Data Studio turned on and the Velocity Gates were setup in Channel 1 and Channel 2, the sliding cart runs were ready to start.. Once the air was turned on, a test run of the sliding cart down the airtrack was completed. When the test run was successful, the start button was pressed

steady. The acceleration of the toy truck should be steady due to the constant pull of gravity and the constants in the experiment. Excluding air resistance, gravity should stay constant and thus create a constant acceleration, but an increase in velocity. However, in the results the acceleration begins extremely high and steadily decreases until it hovers around 500 m/s2. An anomaly in the graph, shown by the line of best fit over the second ticker tape segment. The result is higher than it should

1. The projectile launcher was set up on a table top, 2. The projectile launcher was then angled at 45 degrees above the horizontal. 3. A ball was placed inside of the projectile launcher and was pushed in till the launcher clicked twice. 4. The ball was then fired out of the cannon to get a rough estimate on the distance that it would travel. 5. The Pasco touch pad was then placed at approximately where the ball landed and then raised to the same height as the launcher with the use of the school

has to be the same therefore k = E or mgh = 12mv2. This equation can be rearranged to evaluate the velocity that the marble is going when it leaves the ramp and the distance the marble will travel. This investigation is going to look at both the velocity and the range the projectile will travel with dependency to the ramp height. (NOTE air resistance is being ignored, this means that the velocity is going to have a constant horizontal

Projectile Motion Lab Report Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to find out whether an object, in our case a basketball, accelerated in both the horizontal and vertical directions, or just one direction. The main question that we based this experiment on was, "Does an object accelerate in the x position as well as the y position, or just in one axis?". We hypothesized was that there would be acceleration in both axes because of the motion of the free falling object. Method: The procedure

counters that clearly read, "Los Angeles, Non-Stop." Some minutes passed and more people arrived to the terminal where a large mob tried to catch flights for different domestic and international destinations for the holidays. Flights that departed at the same time as mine went to Paris, Frankfurt, and Buenos Aires. I wondered if perhaps many of those people felt the same way I did. The terminal sparkled with Christmas ornamentation and was embellished with lights of diverse colors such as yellow

Good day, The undersigned visited the port of Punto Lobitos, the shipment facility for the export of Coper and Zinc Concentrates. The purpose of this visit was to assess the marine safety of the facility and the relevant environmental safety aspects. The facility has been in operation since 2001 and is capable of exporting 1,800,000 t of copper and zinc concentrates annually. The Port Facilities include receiving tanks for the slurry, treatment facilities, storage shed for 160,000 t of concentrate

Chapter 6. Uniform Acceleration Problems: Speed and Velocity 6-1. A car travels a distance of 86 km at an average speed of 8 m/s. How many hours were required for the trip? [pic] [pic] t = 2.99 h 6-2. Sound travels at an average speed of 340 m/s. Lightning from a distant thundercloud is seen almost immediately. If the sound of thunder reaches the ear 3 s later, how far away is the storm? [pic] t = 58.8 ms 6-3. A small rocket leaves its pad and travels a

Hammy has jumped with initial velocity of 5 m/s at an angle of 250 for 1 second. Will he be able to reach the ice block? If not maintaining the same velocity and hang time, what should be the angle of his take off to be able to reach the ice block? 2. The target is located 100 m away from the cannon. The target is aimed at 250 angle. The target was hit after 2s. What is the velocity of the cannon ball upon being fired? At what distance from the ground
