Abstract

Projectile motion is a common motion and it is use in many applications in our daily life. However, for study purpose at school, college or university, it is assumed that air-resistance effects are negligibly small or just assume it does not exist. In this research, an experiment of projectile motion with air resistance will be conducted. The objective is to study the effect of air resistance towards projectile motion. For that, an experiment of projectile motion will be conducted complete with air resistance. This research will study not only the effect of air resistance, but the effect of mass of ball use, distance and velocity of the projectile as well. In order to make sure this research will achieve its objective, a few methods were used. First of all, a flow chart needs to be constructed in order to make sure the work flow of this research will move on smoothly. To get the data need for this research, a laboratory experiment will be conducted. The data obtained then will be collected and then the data will be analyzed to get the result. The experiment then will be converting to mathematical model in order to find the distance travel, speed, and all the data those are related. At the end of the study, the effect of the air resistance towards projectile motion will be verified. It is shown that with air resistance, the distance travelled by the projectile motion will be decreased. The distance travel also will be affected by the mass of specimen used for the projectile motion and the speeds of the specimen during undergo the projectile motion.
