Purpose: To use present knowledge of projectile motion to predict where a ball will hit on an inclined plane.
Apparatus: We used the lab station table as a starting point. We then placed a tall ring stand on top of the table, with a clamp on it. This was the starting point. Then we used two aluminum v-channels; one was inclined and held up by the clamp. The lower side of the channel was then taped to a horizontal channel that met the edge of the table. The level channel was held up by two wooden blocks. We then let a metal ball roll from the top of the channel all the way off the table, and recorded where it landed with respect to the edge of the table by taping a blank piece of paper and placing a sheet of carbon paper on top of it so that it leaves a mark.
