Projectile Motion

Today in class we learned about projectile motion.  This picture is of the lab we did today where we launched a ball out of muzzle and calculated how far it went horizontally and vertically.  I thought it was a super fun activity because it was hands on and it kept me very interested for a long time.  We also did an activity where me and Cameron dove/jumped into the swimming pool and from there we were able to calculate and see on logger pro the slope and other things that happened during the action.  Many things in today's world illustrate projectile motion like bombs being dropped during a war and I think it is important to understand because if something were to go wrong it could be a mess!
