in projectile motion, why the experimental results are different with theoretical result?
thank you

stupif said:but i use steel ball as projectile...the wind will affect the result??or other factors except wind...

Projectile motion refers to the movement of an object through the air under the influence of gravity. This type of motion is a combination of horizontal and vertical motion, resulting in a curved path.
Experimental results are obtained through conducting actual experiments, while theoretical results are calculated based on mathematical equations and assumptions. Experimental results may vary due to factors such as air resistance and human error, while theoretical results are based on ideal conditions.
Comparing experimental and theoretical results allows scientists to validate the accuracy of mathematical models and theories. It also helps identify any discrepancies or limitations in the theoretical model.
Air resistance, human error in measurement and timing, and external factors such as wind or temperature can all affect the accuracy of experimental results in projectile motion. It is important to control for these factors as much as possible to obtain reliable data.
To improve the accuracy of experimental results, we can use more precise measuring tools, conduct multiple trials and take an average, and minimize external factors such as air resistance by conducting experiments in a controlled environment. We can also use more sophisticated mathematical models to account for factors that may have been previously overlooked.
