Projectile Motion EX-5502
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.

Featured Equipment
Photogate Head
Monitors the motion of objects passing through its gate, counting events as the object breaks the infrared beam.
Mini Launcher
The Mini Launcher launches metal spheres up to 2.0 m high to produce highly accurate and repeatable data for classroom projectile analysis.
Time-of-Flight Accessory
Use with a Photogate to capture time of flight data. Timing starts when object passes through photogate and stops when object impacts this landing pad. For use with PASPORT and ScienceWorkshop Interfaces.
Projectile Motion Experiment
The complete solution for using a projectile launcher to better understand the kinematics and dynamics of projectile motion.
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
