Projectile Motion Simulation, 4/28

GO to PHET. 

You will be experimenting with the applet found there.  You will need to answer the following questions INDIVIDUALLY and hand in at the end of the hour.

Questions to Ponder and Answer
Using the projectile motion simulation, what variables can be tested that could affect projectile motion?
Predict which of these do affect projectile motion and provide reasoning for why you think a particular variable might affect or not affect projectile motion. Explain this for each variable.
Test your predictions by looking at changes in each variable. Remember to change only one variable at a time.
Use the tape measure to determine the height and distance a trajectory travels.
What angle might give you the greatest height? How could you test this with a simulation that does not go off the page?
What angle might give you the greatest distance? How could you test this with a simulation that does not go off the page?
What angle will give you minimum trajectory distance? Explain the reasoning behind this.
What is the change in x and the change in y for a tankshell with a cannon angle degree of 80 and an initial speed of 40?
Is this the same for a Buick at the same angle and speed? Explain why or why not?
