AP Projectile Lab

Note that you lab does not have address what is called conclusion in the lab sheet. Focus on the analysis and results. Do explain your reasoning behind your calculations and how you found vifor the horizontal shot and eventually  delta x for the diagonal shot.

What I mean by reasoning is something like time of flight is change in velocity in y direction divided by a in y direction and vyf can be found from kinematic equation Dy = (vyf squared- vyi squared)/2a rewritten for vyf.

Your conclusion should refer to how successful you were in learning and applying equations governing projectile motion.
