What are some easy projectile experiments for 11th grade physics projects?

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around finding suitable and easy projectile experiments for an 11th-grade physics project. Participants are exploring ideas that align with the educational level and requirements for a project submission.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster seeks simple experiment ideas, while another participant questions the specifics of what an "internal" project entails. Suggestions include building a launching device and applying Newtonian physics to calculate projectile motion.

Discussion Status

The conversation is ongoing, with some participants sharing their experiences and suggesting projectile motion as a fun topic. There is no clear consensus yet, but ideas are being exchanged regarding potential experiments.

Contextual Notes

Participants are navigating the requirements of a school project, with some uncertainty about the expectations for the assignment. The original poster is looking for experiments that are manageable at the 11th-grade level.

hi...im new here...

im in 11th grade and need to submit a project and report (physics) for my internals...
pleez give me easy to make experiments which is suitable for my grade...

thank u

What's that?

I'm in twelth grade so maybe I could help. What is an internal, and what do you mean by needing a project. Like just some experiment, or what?
 
Projectile motion's always fun. Build some sort of launching device, with a spring is easiest, and use classical Newtonian equations to calculate the amount of force it will produce. Set it at an angle, choose a (preferably round) projectile, weight it, calculate the theoretical distance the launcher will shoot it and see if you can consistently hit a target.
 
ya go with the projeciles. our gr. 12 class just just a bunch of launching of objects last week.
