Projectile Motion Lab Report - Physics 1 - Semester 1

This report details an experiment on projectile motion, analyzing the trajectory of a projectile launched at various angles. The experiment involved setting up a projectile launcher, measuring the horizontal range for different launch angles, and calculating the initial velocity. The report includes a discussion of the theoretical background, experimental procedure, results presented in tables and graphs, and analysis using kinematic equations. The results indicate the relationship between launch angle and range, with the maximum range achieved at a specific angle. The report also discusses sources of error, improvements to the experiment, and compares the experimental findings to theoretical predictions. The initial velocity of the projectile was determined, and the report used the kinematic equations to calculate the time of flight and range of the projectile. Furthermore, the discussion section includes a comparison of theoretical and experimental results. The error analysis section includes a calculation of the percentage error and a discussion of possible sources of error in the experiment. Finally, the report concludes with a summary of the findings and their significance.
