After completing this lab activity, the students should be able to:
- Conduct the projectile motion lab
- Calculate the range and the height of a projectile, released at various angles
- Write a lab report
Lab Report
The lab report must include the following:
- Title
- Introduction
- Experimental Details or Theoretical Analysis
- Results
- Discussion
- Conclusions and Summary
- References
ACS Format for Laboratory Reports (winona.edu) (Links to an external site.)
This is a good a example of a lab report. (Links to an external site.)
Lab Activity
Please follow the steps given below to conduct the experiment:
- This lab requires you to produce a lab report to ‘Determine the height and the range of a projectile.” This is the“Title” of your lab report.
- Read the relevant chapter on projectile motions and add an “Introduction.”
You conduct this lab by connecting to the PhET website by clicking on the link given below (or where applicable through the embedded simulation on the lab page):
