This lab session was really fun. We were given objectives for the whole session on Projectile motion. We used many lab instruments for this lab activity, one of which is the awesome projectile gun! Our group objective was to compute for the initial velocity of the bullet launched from the projectile gun. Our group had so many mistakes during the activity. It was really fun actually. We always laugh at our mistakes, like for example, when we were measuring the ymax of the bullet, we got a result which we did not expect at all, making us think what we did wrong. The funny part was we always repeat the process of acquiring the ymax and we keep on getting the same unexpected result until we found out that we were using the wrong angle and we used erasers just to lift the projectile gun with a proper angle.
We were successful in computing the right initial velocity. Another exciting part was when we tried our data for precision target shooting and we were right! We got the correct angle and we hit the highest point which was 5. Unfortunately for the second try, we only got 3 points due to our error, which was kinda funny. We forgot to check if the projectile gun was aligned at the target. Nevertheless, we had fun and we were satisfied with the results of our lab activity. :)
Looking forward to more fun and exciting physics activities!
