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

AI Thread 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.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
