Virtual Lab: Projectile Motion Name(s): Date: Please use a font color other than black, red or green. Theory: A projectile is an object that moves in two dimensions, in other words, it moves vert ically and horizontally at the same time. A special characteristic of a projectile is that its motion in the vertical direction is independent of its motion in the horizontal direction. If air resistance is small enough to be ignored, then the only force acting on a projectile after launch, is the verti...

Virtual Lab: Velocity and Acceleration on a Frictionless Inclined Plane, and Free Fall Theory: The Italian scientist Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) discovered mathematical relationships that describe the motion of falling objects, and the motion of objects rolling down inclined planes. These equations paved the way for the subsequent development of the field of classical mechanics (the science of forces and motion) by the English physicist, Sir Isaac Newton, who was born the same year Galileo died....
