In this video, we present a comprehensive physics laboratory experiment on Projectile Motion, a classic example of two-dimensional motion with constant acceleration.

The experiment demonstrates how an object moves simultaneously in the horizontal and vertical directions under the influence of gravity, and how these two motions are independent but share the same time of flight. Using experimental measurements and kinematic equations, we analyze horizontal launches and launches at an angle, and verify the parabolic trajectory of projectile motion.

🔬 Topics covered in this video:

Definition of projectile motion as two-dimensional motion

Assumptions of projectile motion (no air resistance, constant gravity)

Decomposition of motion into horizontal and vertical components

Equations of motion for:

Horizontal projection

Projection at an angle

Time of flight, horizontal range, and maximum height

Effect of launch angle on horizontal range

Why the maximum range occurs at 45 degrees

Comparison between experimental results and theoretical predictions

🧪 Experimental Setup:

Mini launcher

Photogates for velocity measurement

Measuring tape for range and height

Data tables for measured and calculated values

This video is ideal for:

Undergraduate physics students

Physics laboratory courses

Mechanics and kinematics revision

Engineering and applied science students
