SK088 Projectile Motion Experiment

Regular price $999.00

Projectile Motion Experiment

The projectile motion is for experimentally determining trajectories when a projectile is launched either horizontally or at an angle. Angles between 0° and 90° may be selected. Varying the tension in the spring can also enable different launch velocities.

Features:

  • 1 Projectile Launcher with Bench Clamp
  • 1 Digital Timer with Adaptor
  • 1 Pair of Photogates with Cable
  • 1 Photogate clamp
  • 2 Plastic Balls

Objectives:

  • To determine the range of projectile as a function of the angle of inclination.
  • To determine the (maximum) range as a function of the initial velocity.
