INTRODUCTION:
It would be an odd sight indeed to watch a medieval-era cannon wheeled onto a
modern field of battle, with drones zooming about overhead and armored, motorized
tanks on the ground. However, not only was the cannon the most-feared mechanical
weapon in the world for a very long time, but the physical principles governing the form
of projectile motion embodied by a cannon ball also dictate those of modern guns.
For our Performance Task in General Physics I for 2 nd Quarter, we are tasked to
create a prototype of our design in the past quarter and that should be adjustable in 5
different designated angles. The cannon is inspired from the game Sea of Thieves, the
student uses it as an inspo for her cannon.
A cannon has its own measurements. The diameter length of the cannon is 9
cm, height is 6cm and width is 9cm. The project is the representation of cannon and
helps to easily visualize it. Materials used in creating the project are cardboard (base,
frame, and wheel), popsicle stick (cannon), barbeque stick (string), rubber band
(mechanism), orbitals (bullet) and paint (colors). Each measurement of the Cannon was
solved by the given Angle and Length of cannon (Hypotenuse) assigned by the
students. Finding the X and Y Components helps to find the sides of triangle by solving
it using Soh Cah Toa and checked it by using Pythagorean Theorem. For the projectile
motion, they assigned the student to find the Time, Range, Initial Velocity, Maximum
Height, Acceleration and Final Velocity for each angle in three (3) trials.

The figure is 3D, you can freely move it.

Narrative interpretation:
To get the initial velocity of the first trial, the first step is to get its time and
range, substitute it to the formula x = Voxt, and divide it to each other. Doing this
will give me the initial velocity of the x-axis or vox. After getting the vox. I will divide
it with Cos(25º) to finally get the initial velocity is equal to vo. Therefore, the initial
velocity of the first, second, and third trial is 0.89 m/s,.80 m/s, 25 m/s.
To find the maximum height, I substitute the initial velocity to the formula
Voy = vo Sin(θ) and multiplied it with Sin(25º). Therefore, the initial velocity of the
v2oy- v2y
y-axis or voy is 0 m/s. After getting the voy, I will use the formula h = to

finally get the maximum height. By computing the formula ℎ = I will get

the maximum height of 0 m for each trial. After getting the horizontal and vertical
velocity, I used the formula () to finally compute the final velocity. I square both
Vy and Vx then add them to each other. Then I solved for the square root of their

Narrative interpretation:
To get the initial velocity of the first trial, the first step is to get its time and
range, substitute it to the formula x = Voxt, and divide it to each other. Doing this
will give me the initial velocity of the x-axis or vox. After getting the vox. I will divide
it with Cos(55º) to finally get the initial velocity is equal to vo. Therefore, the initial
velocity of the first, second, and third trial is 2.76 m/s, 1.19 m/s, and 1.68 m/s
To find the maximum height, I substitute the initial velocity to the formula
Voy = vo Sin(θ) and multiplied it with Sin(55º). Therefore, the initial velocity of the
v2oy- v2y
y-axis or voy is 0 m/s. After getting the voy, I will use the formula h = to

𝑣𝑦2−𝑉𝑜𝑦

finally get the maximum height. By computing the formula ℎ = I will get
2𝑔

the maximum height of 0 m for each trial. After getting the horizontal and vertical
velocity, I used the formula () to finally compute the final velocity. I square both
Vy and Vx then add them to each other. Then I solved for the square root of their
sum. Therefore, the final velocity of the first, second and third trial is 7.21 m/s,
8.80 m/s, and 10.71 m/s

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
This miniature cannon is inspired in the video game Sea of Thieves it is simple
old pirate vibe. It is made of recyclable materials combined to form a miniature cannon.
The student recommends using recyclable materials because it can find easily inside
our home. The cannon can move on a different angle to form a triangle and to launch it
appropriately to the exact distance. It does fire for 5 angles. The miniature cannon has a
mechanism, not just like the real cannon that needs gun powder to set fire.
In processing the design of miniature cannon, the student has affliction in figuring
what the right angle, measurements of the design and the recyclable materials that will
surely fit in the actual cannon. In the intervening period, the student conquers these
troubles and suppose a unique idea. The student suggests started making the cannon
early therefore, she can finish it neat and detailed without rushing.
In processing of the actual cannon, at first the student struggles in finding the
right mechanism. However, the student conquers these hardship and make the cannon
a head of time so that she can finish it already.
