SET-UP
As a group of five, we
assigned a task to each
person. One person
shooting a ball, one
recording the position,
one collecting the ball,
one pumping air inside
the cannon and one
person aiming the
cannon.
SET-UP
PROCEDURE
Part A
1 2
Set launcher at 0° Insert metal ball
with 70 psi and use hand pump
pressure. to pressurize
3 4
Measure height of Reload and launch
launching ball ball 3 times per
angle
5 4
Record the distance
and calculate initia
velocity
PROCEDURE
Part B
1
Fire projectile at 20°, 0°, 45°, 60°, and
75°.
2
Record the length and lable spot
Calculation for
initial velocity
ANALYSIS A
In part A, The average
distance of the three trial
is 73°. We can calculate
the ball's initial velocity
which uses the y = ½gt².
The formula gave us the
average initial velocity of
422.9 cm/s

ANALYSIS B
In part B, we can see that
45° gives us the maximum
range which is around 203
centimeters and that 20° and
70° gives us the minimum
range of around 130
centimeters. 30°and 60° are
complimentary as well as
20° and 70° That's why it has
similar range. It might be a
little different because of
slight difference in each run.

CONCLUSION
In this experiment, the error that we have to deal with during the
experiment includes leveling the launcher at zero degrees, and
lowering the launcher. Our group was negligent in reading the
instructions, causing us to make two main silly mistakes which
leads to a major problems. The first time that we launched the
objects we totally forgot to leveling the launcher to zero degree,
which have an effect on the results. It was too far off from each
other, soon after that we know that we forgot to leveling the
launcher to zero degrees. Leading us in redoing the whole
process all over again. Everything seems to go well for a moment,
until the very end of the experiment. We realized by looking at the
other group and saw that they are all lowering their launcher to
the chair level. So we asked the teacher, and she told us that all
we did was wrong. Once again that we need to redo the same
experiment all over again for the second time. Which is a waste of
time that shouldn’t be happening if we were to care more about
the instruction that is given in the first place. If possible, we
should pay more attention and spend more time on reading the
instructions, so that these mistakes wouldn’t happen.
