Title: Conduct Investigations Projectile Motion
Post by: frog0101 on November 06, 2018, 06:37:55 am

Hi,
For Conduct a practical investigation to collect primary data in order to validate the relationships derived above
from the syllabus, what experiments is everyone doing? Is anyone doing one that is not finding the horizontal range of a projectile using a ramp?

Thanks

Mine,  when I did it in VCE last year,  was using a marble launcher (not using a ramp). I used a light gate to measure initial speed and carbon paper to see where the marble landed (which I measured with measuring tape + ruler).

My results in the end were precise and inaccurate

Hello, I'm just wondering if you're able to tell me how you used carbon paper to observe where the marble lands. Did you place the carbon paper on white paper and the marble made a print on the white paper?

Thank you!
