    [This experiment can be completed at home without specialized equipment. The difficulty level is: Moderate.] The purpose of this lab is to understand that motion in the x-direction is independent of motion in the y-direction. To do this, a projectile is launched horizontally off of a table into a cup or bowl some calculated distance…

    [This experiment can be completed easily at home without specialized equipment.] The purpose of this lab is to determine how a pendulum’s mass affects the period of its swing. Furthermore, we wish to determine an experimental value for the acceleration due to gravity and compare that to the known value of Please note that this…
