Vernier Projectile Launcher VPL
DescriptionExp-1 Investigate projectile range as a function of launch angle.
Exp-2 Measure the launch speed of the Projectile Launcher.
Exp-3 Predict the ball landing point from the initial speed of a horizontally launched ball.
Exp-4 Predict the ball landing point from the initial launch speed and angle.
Exp-5 Attempt to hit a target.
Use the Vernier Projectile Launcher to investigate important concepts in two-dimensional kinematics. Launch steel balls at angles between 0 and 70 degrees and over distances up to 2.5 m.
