    This document provides instructions for students to design and conduct their own experiment on projectile motion. It outlines the objectives of planning a scientific investigation with a testable question, hypothesis, identification of variables, experimental procedure, data collection, graphing, and conclusion. The purpose is to study properties of projectile motion by determining initial velocity from projectile range. Students are directed to an online simulation to test their question and collect data on how varying factors affect projectile movement.

    Techniques in Physics Laboratory

    Laboratory 7
    Design & Conduct Your Own
    Experiment with Projectiles

    L7.1. OBJECTIVES

    Students will plan and design a scientific investigation that includes:

    developing a testable question


    stating a hypothesis (Ifthenbecause format)
    identifying the independent(manipulated) and the dependent
    (responding) variables
    designing a written procedure for a controlled experiment
    construct a data table for data collection
    graph data to demonstrate the relationships
    keeping all other conditions constant
    write a concluding paragraph restating your question, discuss
    your results in relation to your hypothesis, ask any questions you
    have about your investigation

    The purpose of this lab is to study the properties of projectile motion. From
    the motion of a steel ball projected horizontally, the initial velocity of the
    ball can be determined from the measured range. For a given initial velocity,
    the projectile range will be measured for various initial angles, and also
    calculated by applying the theory for motion with constant acceleration. For
    further background information, refer to the sections in your textbook on
    projectile motion and motion with constant acceleration.

    L7.2. BACKGROUND & THEORY

    As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they


    are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do
    not refer to reality
    - Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

    Lab 7 Design & Conduct Your Own Experiment with Projectiles

    Refer to any textbook in physics such as Introduction to Physics by Cutnell


    and Johnson. Write a brief and yet a precise note on Projectile motion. Based
    on your note write the hypothesis of your experiment. Submit the note and
    the hypothesis before you perform your experiment.

    L7.3. DIRECTIONS

    Write your best understanding of the word projectile:


    Reflect on todays warm up; what are the factors do you think effect
    projectile movement?
    With your lab partner, agree on one of the above factors and together
    propose a question.
    Write your Hypothesis (Ifthenbecause)

    Press the green RUN NOW button


    Explore the Projectile Simulation and determine how to test your
    question.
    Design a data table and collect data
    Show the relationship of your data in a graph.
    Describe why using the simulation is a good method for studying
    projectiles. Clearly identify the error sources the simulation eliminates
    or minimizes.
    Refer to learning goal h and write your conclusion

    L7.4. ASSIGNMENT

    Write a full lab report for this experiment. Explain clearly your work.
