Predictions:
Angle: The angle will affect the height.
Initial Speed: This will affect the distance and force.
Mass of Projectile: It affects how much force is needed.
Size and Shape of Projectile: It will affect the distance.
Terms:
Range: distance an object goes
Height: distance between lowest and highest point
Time: the time it takes an object from launch to hit the ground
Angle:
How does the angle affect projectile motion? angle | 15 | 30 | 45 | 60 | 75 | range | 20m | 31m | 24.2m | 29m | 17m | time | 1.2s | 2s | 2.7s | 3.3s | 3.6s | height | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m | | | | | | |
As the angle increased, time increased. The range increases and decreases. The height remained the same throughout.
Initial Speed:
How does initial speed affect projectile motion? speed | 15m/s | 18m/s | 21m/s | 24m/s | 27m/s | 30m/s | range | 8.1m | 11.5m | 15.6m | 20.3m | 25.7m | 31.6m | time | 3.1s | 3.7s | 4.3s | 4.9s | 5.5s | 6.1s | height | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m |
As initial speed increases, time and range increase and height stays the same.
Mass:
How does the mass affect projectile motion? Mass | 5kg | 10kg | 20kg | 50kg | Range | 11.5m | 11.5m | 11.5m | 11.5m | Time | 3.7s | 3.7s | 3.7s | 3.7s | height | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m |
As mass increases, everything stays the same. So, mass does not affect projectile motion.
Size and Shape:
How does size and shape affect projectile motion? Object | baseball | Bowling ball | human | piano | Buick | Time | 3.7s | 3.7s | 3.7s | 3.7s | 3.7s | Range | 11.5m | 11.5m | 11.5m | 11.5m | 11.5m | height | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2m | -1.2 | -1.2 |
Size and shape does not affect projectile motion. It
