AP Lab Two

AP Lab 2 – Projectile Motion.
Your Task:

In this lab you will be determining the initial velocity of a projectile from its range as a function of its launch angle, and then analyzing the effects of air resistance. Roughly the steps will be as follows.

  1. Derive an equation for  R(θ, v)
  2. Find  a way to manipulate your axes so that a graph with axes based on θ and R should produce a linear graph, the slope of which will allow you to determine v0.
  3. Collect enough good data, that you can determine v0 within a tolerable range.
  4. Graph and analyze your data, looking for v0 and a description of the effects of air resistance.


As before copy the questions from the link below to your lab document and answer the questions.
