Path of a Projectile
The purpose of this experiment is to determine how the vertical distance a projectile drops is related to the horizontal distance the projectile travels...
Acceleration Down an Incline
In this experiment, you will investigate how the acceleration of a cart rolling down an inclined track depends on the angle of incline. From you data,...
Launch Speed
In this experiment, you will qualitatively demonstrate how the final speed of the plunger cart depends on its mass and the initial compression of the plunger...
Projectile Motion - Wireless
This experiment is in four parts: 1. Muzzle Velocity, Time of Flight, and Range 2. Launching at Different Angles on a Plane 3. Predicting the Range of...
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...
Horizontal Speed of a Projectile
The purpose of this lab is to determine whether the horizontal velocity of a projectile is constant throughout its flight.
Horizontal Distance of a Projectile
The purpose of this experiment is to use the initial speed and the time of flight to predict the horizontal distance traveled by a ball shot from a table...
Time of Flight Versus Initial Speed
The purpose of this experiment is to determine whether time of flight of a ball launched horizontally off a table remains constant as the initial launch...
Blockly Extension: Where's My Smart Cart?
Students create a Blockly program that calibrates the position of the Smart Cart to the scale on...
Blockly Extension: Vector Display
Students create a Blockly program that outputs text that indicates the magnitude and direction of the velocity and acceleration of a Smart Cart.
