After setting the ball the medium range setting the launcher
Results (Data and Calculation):
Table 1:
V₀ = d/t → 1.3716/0.444 = 3.089

H₂ = H - (gt²/2)
D₃ = V₀t = 0.956m

Conclusion: During this experiment, I realized that it is not that hard to calculate where a projectile will land. Being able to calculate where the projectile will land made the experiment more fun and intuitive. Not rushing through this experiment rewarded us with accurate measurements that matched our theoretical for the most part.
