Projectile Motion in Advanced Physics

This week in advanced physics we had a challenge from our teacher. We were studying projectile motion and how an object acts when shot under a certain set of restraints (e.g., launch angle and initial velocity). Mr. Kernohan, our teacher, challenged us to make a path of rings in the air through which he could shoot a metal ball. The challenging part was to complete his task while knowing only the angle the cannon was going to be shot at and observing one shot of the cannon when set at 0 degrees. It seemed improbable, but our class accepted the challenge. By measuring the...
