Unit 4- Projectile Motion






In class we expanded more on Unit 4 Projectile Motion.  In this picture Cameron is launching an Air Rocket in the sky while Bunn, Kelly, and I are waiting to observe and record the data.  The rocket went straight up in the air and then came straight back down.  It went fast, slow, stop, slow, fast and hit the ground.  During this whole process the Acceleration stays the same (9.8 or 10 m/s).  In class we also did a Jose and Pierre experiment and I thought that was super cool how when the object was moving the canon shot the ball out and happened to land inside.  After these two activities I realized how important it is to know physics.  Without even doing something and if your physics is good you can accurately and precisely predict what will happened during an experiment without even conducting one.

  1. Good explanation. I thought the Jose and Pierre experiment was really cool too.
