Range of a Horizontal Projectile: Advanced
Students will use a photogate to measure the launch velocity of a horizontal projectile. That velocity will be used to predict the projectile’s range, or horizontal displacement. Students are guided through the exact steps and equations they will need for the prediction. They will then place a target at the point of their predicted range and test their prediction.
