    This laboratory report describes an experiment on projectile motion. Students measured the initial velocity, range, and maximum height of a marble launched from a spring-loaded device at various angles. They calculated theoretical values and compared them to experimental measurements, determining the percentage error. The students also graphed the projectile trajectory over time on a spreadsheet. In their conclusions, they answered questions about the factors that affect range and height, the ideal projectile motion curve, and real-world examples.

    Laboratory Exercise No.: 6


    Projectile Motion

    OBJECTIVES

    To calculate the initial velocity, maximum range, and maximum height of the trajectory of a
    projectile.

    To explain the relationship between angle of projection to the horizontal range and to the
    maximum height.

    MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT
    Projectile Kit Meter Stick Marble Protractor

    C - Clamp Plumb Line MS Excel

    THEORY/DISCUSSION
    In this lab we will study two dimensional projectile motion of an object in free fall - that
    is, an object that is launched into the air and then moves under the influence of gravity alone.
    Examples of projectiles include rockets, baseballs, fireworks, and the steel balls that will be
    used in this lab. To describe projectile motion, such as the trajectory (path), we will use a
    coordinate system where the y-axis is vertically upward and the x-axis is horizontal and in the
    direction of the initial launch (or initial velocity). To simplify projectile motion, we assume that
    the gravitational acceleration ( g=9.8 m/s 2) is constant, such that ax = 0 and ay = −g, and we
    will ignore any air resistance.

    PROCEDURES

    A. Determination of Initial Velocity


    1. The materials were set up as in figure 1.0. A clean sheet of paper with carbon paper on
    top of it is fixed on the target point on the floor. As the marble is released, it hits the
    paper. The marble is released five trials. The range is measured as in the figure. The
    data is shown in Data Table A.
    2. Calculate the initial velocity of the marble due to the spring using the formula:
    Vo=R
    table.
    √ g , where is the average range from Table A=9.8 m/s², h= the height of the
    2h

    Figure 1a Figure 1b

    B. Measurement of Range and Maximum Height


    1. The materials were set up as in figure 2a. The barrel is adjusted so that its angle of
    elevation is 15º with respect to the horizontal. Try out can be done to make sure the marble
    will land on the table top. A clean sheet of paper with carbon paper on top of it is fixed on
    the target point on the table top. The spring is released to launch the marble five times, Data
    is recorded in Table B. Calculate the average value of the range which is now called the
    Experimental Value (EV) of the range.
    2. Procedure no. 1 is repeated for angles 30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees. Data are recorded Data
    Table B.

    V o sin ⁡(2θ)
    3. Calculate the Theoretical Value of the range using the formula R= , where Vo
    g
    is from Data Table A; g = 9.8 m/s² 4. Calculate the percentage error.
    4. Calculate the maximum height of the trajectory of the marble using the formula
    V o2 sin2 θ
    H= and record your data in Table C.

    C. Graphing Projectile Motion
    1. Open a spreadsheet file and save it as “Projectile1.xlxs”.
    2. Write in cell A1 "Motion of a Projectile Under Gravity".
    3. In cells A7, A8, A9 and A10 write respectively g= , vx_init= , vy_init= and delta_t=.
    4. Click on B7, click Formula/Defined Names/Define Name, it will suggest name g, click OK. Put the
    appropriate names in B8, B9 and B10.
    5. Enter the values 9.8, 20, 30 and 0.05 in cells B7 through B10 respectively.
    6. In cells A14, B14, C14, D14 and E14 write time, vx, vy, x, y.
    7. In cells A15, B15, C15, D15 and E15 write 0, =v_x_init, =v_y_init, 0 and 0.
    8. In cell A16 write =A15+delta_t. In B16 write =B15. In C16 write =C15+g*delta_t.
    In D16 write =D15 + 0.5*(B15 + B16)*delta_t. In E16 write =E15+0.5*(C15 +
    C16)*delta_t.
    9. Now, select cells A16 through E16 and copy all five columns down through E214.
    10. Highlight cells D15 through E214, and click Chartwizard and choose scatter plot. Call the
    graph Projectile: Zero Air Resistance, label the axes "distance along ground" and "height
    above ground".
    11. Your file should look like this:

    QUESTIONS
    1. Aside from air resistance, what physical quantity is kept constant in part B?
    2. Are there two different launch angles that would give you the same range? Are there
    two different launch angles that would give you the same height? Explain.
    3. Based from the activity, what angle of projection is best to reach the highest position?
    4. If the marble is fired with a higher initial velocity, would the range be greater or lesser?
    Explain.
    5. Ideally, what kind of mathematical curve is the projectile motion trajectory? Describe
    two examples of projectile motion which you have observed or experienced outside of
    this physics lab that follow this mathematical curve.
