Activity 2. Qualitative Analysis of Projectile Motion EXPLORE 1 2.1 Flicking of Coins (Vertical Motion) Perform the activity called flicking of coins by preparing 2 identical coins, follow the procedure given and answer the guide questions. Procedure: 1. Balance one coin on the edge of a table. 2. Place your index finger on a second coin, then flick the second coin so that it travels off the table, while the first coin is gently nudged off the edge. 3. It may take a few practice trials to be able to do this effectively.

In laboratory situations, a projectile's range can be used to determine its speed. To see how this is done, suppose a ball rolls off a horizontal table and lands $1.5 \mathrm{~m}$ out from the edge of the table. If the tabletop is $90 \mathrm{~cm}$ above the floor, determine (a) the time the ball is in the air, and (b) the ball's speed as it left the table top.
Range versus initial speed: Experiment 1: How does the initial speed affect the range of the projectile? Set the angle to 60 degrees. Find the range for several different values of initial speed (make sure you get values over the whole range of initial speeds available). Fill out the table and make a plot:

Analyze how horizontal motion can be uniform while vertical motion is accelerated. How will projectile motion be affected when drag due to air resistance is taken into consideration?
