PROJECTILE MOTION

PROJECTILE Projectile motion is a form of motion where an object


moves in a bilaterally symmetrical, parabolic path. The
MOTION path that the object follows is called its trajectory.1

CONCLUSION
Thus it can be concluded that data gathering by computation and recorded simulation is effective for projectile
motion. With the given condition of soldiers in the middle of war and asking for medical supplies, the target of
this study was to calculate the time of the flight as well as the range of medical supplies. The result of the data
gathered followed by the calculation revealed a marginal difference of <1 among the data except for horizontal
range which is differed by >1. The result of the study furthermore revealed 0.25 discrepancy in the data set
among stimulation and manual computation.
CONCLUSION
This study has considered the two dimensions of the projectile movement which have two components including
vertical and horizontal velocity. Under the consideration of the trajectory of the projectile that results within the
parabola, the research of the study gathered data with the expectations of discrepancy in result. This is because
the approach of simulation operates the overall theoretical situation towards absolute measurement and the
manual computation restraints on average result values. The researcher of the study expected discrepancy
however was confident that the discrepancy related to the data on horizontal velocity should not deviate from the
result range. However, this study and the data collection followed by the adopted procedure for the methodology
of the study can be considered to be effective since the result of the study revealed that both the data lie among
the anticipated range, henceforth justifying precise and effective results together with a high level of accuracy of
the collected data set.
