Projectile in motion

Materials:

1. Object to be thrown (Example: Ball, Mobile Phone)

2. Timer/Stopwatch

3. Length/Distance Measuring Tool

4. Wide field or area

4. Camera for Documentation (Picture/Video)

Procedure:

 Choose a wide field or area or location to conduct the activity

 Choose an object to be thrown.
 Throw the object from an approximate angle of 60, 45, and 30 degree with the horizontal
 Measure the approximate time and distance the object took from start to finish of throwing.
 Assuming the ground is perfectly flat and the object is free of air resistance, calculated for:

o Initial and Final Horizontal Velocity

o Initial and Final Vertical Velocity
o Initial and Final Velocity
