AP Projectile Motion Lab

The lab's purpose was not to find out how far the ball would go. Nor was it to improve your already immense prowess in projectile motion. It was to confirm the concepts and equations we use in calculating projectile motion. Even an error of 5 or even 10% is not so terrible when you consider that the predicted distance was the result of several rough horizontal and vertical measurements and 4 sequential calculations.
