Principle:
A steel ball is fired by a spring at dif-
ferent velocities and at different
angles to the horizontal. The rela-
tionships between the range, the
height of projection, the angle of in-
clination, and the firing velocity are
determined.
Tasks:
1. To determine the range as a func-
tion of the angle of inclination.
2. To determine the maximum height
of projection as a function of the
angle of inclination.
3. To determine the (maximum)
range as a function of the initial
velocity.
