We will take this to be the initial launch speed of the launcher for the short range position at any angle. Part B Setup: Use the side screws (Fig. 3) to adjust the launcher to launch at an angle between 20 and 60 degrees above the horizontal. Record this angle in Table 2. Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Re-measure the vertical launcher height. Record this in Table 2. Use the initial launch speed from Part A and initial vertical height from Part B to calculate a predicted time of flight. Then calculate and predict the horizontal distance that the ball will travel. Show your work below – Predicted horizontal distance _____________________ Record this in Table 2. Draw a line across the middle of a white piece of paper and tape the paper on the floor so the line is at the predicted horizontal distance from the Launcher. Cover the paper with carbon paper. Fire a test shot. If the ball does not fall on the paper, check your calculations and adjust the paper if necessary.
