Purpose:
To use projectile motikon concepts to predict the impact point of a ball on an incline board.

Theory:

We will be able to predict the impact point of a ball on an incline board by viewing the motion of the ball in terms of x and y components and using algebra to solve for the distance in terms of the two components.

A summary of apparatus:

Calculated results:


Explanation of your graph/analysis:

Using this formula, our team was able to predict the point of impact of a ball in projectile motion given the angle of incline and initial velocity.
