Unit 4 - Projectile Motion

The lab we did today involved shooting a ball out of a projectile launcher. We used DAT, VAT, and VAD equations in order to figure out the muzzle velocity of the projectile launcher. From there, we were able to predict where the ball would land from different heights. Despite my initial apprehension at this assignment, the calculations came easier to me than I thought they would! This unit has made kinematics even more complicated, but so far, so good. Even though my group had a percent error of %3.125, I was still surprised by how close we ended up being to our predicted landing site.
