Design Inclined Plane and Projectile Motion
PHY 200 & 230
In this experiment, the students will design their own experiments with the equipment provided. The goal of the students is to have the ball launch from the top of the lab bench to become a projectile in two dimensions. The students must determine the initial velocity of the projectile.
Equipment
| Name | Location | Quantity |
| Inclined Planes (Wide) | JE105A S132 | 1 per table |
| Rods, Metal | JE-105A-D89,99,100 | 1 per table |
| Balls, Metal - 1.5" | JE-105A-S22 | 1 per table |
| Meter Stick - 2.00m | JE-105A-(105 Door-L) | 1 per table |
| Timer - 389 | JE-105A-D62 | 1 per table |
| Protractor | JE-105A-D90 | 2 per table |
| Tape, Masking | JE-105A-D71 | 1 per table |
| Meter Stick - 1.00m | JE-105A-(105 Door), D98 | 1 per table |
| Clamp, Lattice Rod | JE-105A-D64 | 1 per table |
Notes
Place the equipment onto the tables but DO NOT set up the experiment. Make sure that the steel rods can fit through the holes of the wooden boards serving as ramps. If you are setting up the Physics 230 lab, put one timer, one roll of tape, and one protractor on each table. Each lab bench already has a lattice rod clamp attached to the rod.
Make sure that the room has plenty of paper.
