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

Click For Summary
Easy projectile experiments for 11th grade physics projects include building a simple launching device using a spring to explore projectile motion. Students can apply Newtonian physics to calculate the force produced by the launcher and set it at an angle for optimal distance. Choosing a round projectile and weighing it allows for theoretical distance calculations, which can be tested against actual results by aiming at a target. This hands-on approach not only reinforces physics concepts but also engages students in practical experimentation. Overall, launching objects provides a fun and educational way to understand projectile motion.

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
nimmi

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.
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
