EXPERIMENT #1
Hypothesis
Independent Variable - Speed
Y-Displacement (0 m), Height (0 m), and Angle (45 degrees) remain constant.
As the speed is increased, the distance the projectile covers will increase.
Procedure
Did not touch the height or angle, keeping them at 0 m and 45 degrees respectively. Started the first launch at 0 m/s, and increased the speed by 10 m/s each time. Recorded the data in Excel 2013. Cropped the graph in Paint.

Data Table
Results
As the speed of the projectile increased, the distance covered increased as well.
Conclusion
The hypothesis was correct. Due to the added force on the projectile, causing it to have more speed, it traveled farther every time more speed was applied.
Experiment #2
Hypothesis
Independent Variable - Angle
Speed (40 m/s) and Height (0 m) remain constant.
As the angle increases the distance will increase. After a certain point, the distance will start to decrease.
Procedure
Did not touch the speed or height, keeping them at 40 m/s and 0 m respectively. Started the first launch at 0 degrees, and increased the angle by 10 degrees each time. Recorded the data on Excel 2013. Cropped the graph on Paint.

Conclusion
The hypothesis was correct. Due to the added force on the projectile, causing it to have more speed, it traveled farther every time more speed was applied.

Data Tables
Results
As the angle of the projectile increased, so did the distance covered by the projectile, until it reached a certain angle.then the distance started to decrease.
Conclusion
The hypothesis was correct. Due to the angle, the projectile was able to travel farther every trial. However, after the angle reaches a certain degree, the projectile's distance decreases due to the height it has to cover.
