Hi

Just want to ask you guys if you ever performed an Projectile motion experiment where You had to plan and perform a reliable and valid first hand investigation to show the relationship between the height the projectile is released from, and the range of the projectile (horizontal displacement) when it is projected horizontally from the edge of a student desk using a plastic hose which the projectile exits from?

Thanks

We didn't do that one. We did a not so accurate, reliable and valid experiment for projectile motion. It involved nerf guns.

We didnt use a plastic hose, but we did a very similar one :)

Our teacher kinda did it for us LOOL
He said he wanted to try out his new and really expensive camera... =S

We Did the theory though like you did: plan a reliable first hand investigation etc....

No, we just conducted an experiment where we had to predict where the projectile would hit the ground through calculation.
