Projectile Motion

The purpose of this experiment is to predict the horizontal range of a projectile shot from various heights and angles. In addition, students will compare the time of flight for projectiles shot horizontally at different muzzle velocities. This is really four stand-alone activities except that all require a measurement of initial speed when the launcher is fired horizontally.
