to see the projectile motion animation. The projectile is fired horizontally.
Click the pause and play buttons to stop the motion at 10 different points.
If you click on a point the x and y coordinates will appear in a yellow box.
Times are measured in seconds and distances in meters.
Each time you stop the motion, record the time, the x coordinate and the y coordinate.
Record this code:
Construct a graph with time along the horizontal axis and X coordinate along the Vertical axis.
On the second graph use time along the horizontal axis and Y coordinate along the vertical axis.
Calculate the horizontal speed (constant) of the object
You report should include your data table, graph, the code, and your conclusion stating the horizontal component of the velocity of the ball.
