SK088 Projectile Motion Experiment

Projectile Motion Experiment The projectile motion is for experimentally determining trajectories when a projectile is launched either horizontally or at an angle. Angles between 0° and 90° may be selected. Varying the tension in the spring can also enable different launch velocities. Features: 1 Projectile Launcher with Bench Clamp 1 Digital Timer with Adaptor 1 Pair of Photogates with Cable 1 Photogate clamp 2 Plastic Balls Objectives: To determine the range of projectile as a function of the angle of inclination. To determine the (maximum) range as a function of the initial velocity. Technical Data: Projectile Launcher Angle : 90° – 0° – 90° through plumb line Clamping : Bench or Table via ‘U’ clamp Clamping width : upto 35mm Tension : Spring loaded Projectile ball : Plastic, 15mm dia. (approx.) Digital Timer & Photogate Display : 2 line LCD Type : Micro controller based Time resolution : 0.1 milli second Mode : Time, Speed & Acceleration Photogate : 2 Nos. Interface : USB Operating voltage : 5V DC Photogate detector : Infra-Red Scope of Delivery: 1 Projectile Launcher with Bench Clamp 1 Digital Timer with Adaptor 1 Pair of Photogates with Cable 1 Photogate clamp 2 Plastic Balls Key Topics: Range of a ball. Projectile Range Versus Angle. Projectile Path. Conservation of energy. Initial Velocity of the Ball.
