Projectile+Simulation

After your have successfully completed the review of projectile Motion portion of this learning module, try out what you have learned about projectile motion under new conditions: two dimensional motion.

As you no doubt remember, anything launched through the air is a projectile. All projectiles act in the same manner due to the acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s/s.

Navigate to the simulation below and follow the directions exactly as described on the Word Document below.

The link for the simulation is here : Projectile Motion Simulation I Once you have completed the simulation, navigate to the next link so that you can place your data in a spreadsheet in order to infer what special properties you discovered in your simulation. After you input your data, use the spreadsheet to generate a graph that is representative of these special properties of two dimensional projectile motion.Instructions for your spreadsheet data entry can be found in this document

This special relationship is found under Part III: Investigating Launch Angles.

Be sure your look at the range as it relates to launch angle.
