Objective
The objective of this project is to study the motion of a projectile, understand the factors
affecting its trajectory, and verify theoretical predictions using experiments and
calculations.
Introduction
Projectile motion is a form of motion experienced by an object that is launched into the air
and moves under the influence of gravity. It has two components: horizontal motion and
vertical motion, which are independent of each other. This project aims to explore the
concept of projectile motion, its equations, and its practical applications in real-world
scenarios.
Theory
Projectile motion can be analyzed using kinematic equations. Key concepts include:

1. **Horizontal Motion**: The horizontal velocity (vₓ) remains constant as there is no


horizontal acceleration.
2. **Vertical Motion**: The vertical velocity (vᵧ) changes due to the acceleration caused by
gravity (g = 9.8 m/s²).

Equations of motion for a projectile launched at an angle θ with initial velocity u:


- Horizontal displacement: x = uₓt = (u cos θ) t
- Vertical displacement: y = uᵧt - 0.5gt² = (u sin θ) t - 0.5gt²
- Maximum height: H = (u² sin² θ) / (2g)
- Time of flight: T = (2u sin θ) / g
- Range: R = (u² sin 2θ) / g
Experimental Setup/Procedure
1. Gather materials: A projectile launcher, a measuring tape, a protractor, and a stopwatch.
2. Set the launcher at an angle θ using the protractor.
3. Measure the initial velocity (u) using the setup provided.
4. Launch the projectile and record the time of flight using the stopwatch.
5. Measure the range and maximum height achieved by the projectile.
6. Repeat the experiment for different angles and compare the results with theoretical
calculations.
Observations and Calculations
Observation Table:

| Angle (θ) | Initial Velocity (u) | Time of Flight (T) | Maximum Height (H) | Range (R) |

Results
The experiment validated the theoretical predictions of projectile motion. The range and
maximum height were found to depend on the initial velocity and angle of projection, in
agreement with the equations of motion.
Conclusion
Through this project, the principles of projectile motion were studied in detail. It was
observed that the horizontal and vertical motions are independent of each other, and the
trajectory is parabolic. The experimental results matched the theoretical calculations,
demonstrating the accuracy of the kinematic equations.
