Projectile


This week in physics class we learned about projectiles. The definition of a projectile is: something that has a single force affecting it, gravity. We conducted multiple experiments and used logger pro to analyze and understand projectiles. For example a person jumping from point A to point B would be considered a projectile because the only force affecting it, is gravity. The video above is an example of projectiles. That is my brother Byrne who is jumping from point A to point B. The only thing affecting him is gravity because there is nothing else putting force upon him. Projectiles are pretty cool and I am very excited to analyze other forms of projectiles.
