The Attempt at a Solution

I thought about an outdoor experiment with throwing and investigating the factors like height, velocity
something with projectile motion, i don't know

I need your help!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

 

[The legend]

a catapult could be fun to do.
My friends and me did that, and it was pretty good fun.

You could set up a rig where it drops the hat in the picture straight down, then you can record all the information and compare your mathematic answers to what actually happened by recording time, height, etc.
