Mini-Lab 2 : Simulating Projectile Motion
In this mini-lab, you’ll get a chance to do some additional practice in understanding the basic concepts behind projectile motion.
Please read the following instructions for how to complete and turn-in the lab carefully. This lab may be completed either as an individual report, or you may choose to work with your classmates in groups of no more than 4 people to produce a group report. If you choose to work as a group, please provide a list of all group members at the top-left margin of your report, and provide a brief description of how the work on the report was divided.
