projectile motion catapult lab
In this lab, you will design, build, and test a simple catapult using popsicle sticks. You will then use your experimental data to calculate the horizontal distance traveled by your projectile and determine the momentum imparted to the projectile just as it leaves the catapult. This lab will help you understand the principles of momentum, conservation of energy (as potential energy is converted to kinetic energy in the catapult, which then contributes to momentum), and projectile motion.
