PHYWE Movement at an angle to the horizon

Principle: A steel ball is fired by a spring at different speeds and angles to the horizon. The relationships between range, launch height, angle of inclination and velocity of the shot are determined. Advantages: Study of the classical method for determining the velocity of a projectile; Study of the application of conservation laws to find "hard-to-find" quantities; Instantaneous evaluation using the built-in velocity measurement; Magnetic attachment of various projectiles; Quick and easy setup for universal and modular use; The equipment is also suitable for demonstration experiments. Objectives: Determining range as a function of the angle of inclination; Determining maximum launch height as a function of the angle of inclination; Determining (maximum) range as a function of the initial velocity. Learning Objectives: Trajectory parabola; Motion with uniform acceleration; Ballistics.
