- Objective: Write a program in C, which will create a table of values for a projectile launched horizontally.
- Background Information: Below is the equation for the horizontal displacement and vertical displacement of an object fired horizontally with an initial velocity of v0 and initial height of y0. We will be working in the mks systems so, assume g = 9.81 m/s2.
- x(t) = v0 * t
- y(t) = -0.5gt^2 + y0
- Directions:
- Write a C program that includes the following and is saved as “program1yourlastname.c”
- Input
- Initial height
- Initial velocity
- Time interval (time between successive times within the table)
- Output to a file titled “yourlastnameprojectile1.xls”
- Initial conditions
- Author and name of program
- Short description of what the data is from
- Time (column 1)
- Horizontal displacement (column 2)
- Vertical displacement (column 3)
- The output must stop where the y(t) becomes negative
- What else to include
- Appropriate comments in the code
- Appropriate variable declarations
- Proper indentation in the code
- Compile the program as “yourlastnameprojectile1.exe”
- Email
- Email Mr. Evans the following
- Subject Line: “Your last name – Projectile 1”
- yourlastnameprojectile1.c
- yourlastnameprojectile1.exe
- Email to evans@scienceandmathacademy.com
- Due: December 22, 2006 by 2:10 P.M.

| 5 - 1/2/07 |
- Write a C program that includes the following and is saved as “Yourlastnameprogram2.c”
- Input
- Initial height
- Initial velocity
- Initial angle
- Time interval (time between successive times within the table)
- Output to a file titled “YourlastnameProgram2.xls”
- Initial conditions
- Author and name of program
- Time (column 1)
- Horizontal displacement (column 2)
- Vertical displacement (column 3)
- The output must stop where the y(t) become negative
- What else to include
- Appropriate comments in the code
- Appropriate variable declarations
- Compile the program as “program1yourlastname.exe”
- Email
- Email Mr. Evans the following
- Subject: “Yourlastname Projectile #2”
- Yourlastnameprogram2.c
- Yourlastnameprogram2.exe
- Email to evans@scienceandmathacademy.com
- Due: January 3, 2007 (before the start of class)

- The class learned about the drag coefficients and the equations for acceleration for projectile motion concidering drag.
|
| 7 - 1/8/07 |
Objective: Write a program in C, which will create a table of values for a projectile launched at an angle, accounting for drag.
Background Information:

- Drag coefficient
- Mass of object (optional)
- Output to a file titled “YourlastnameProjectile3.xls”
- Initial conditions
- Author and name of program
- Time (column 1)
- Horizontal acceleration (column 2)
- Vertical acceleration (column 3)
- Horizontal velocity (column 4)
- Vertical velocity (column 5)
- Horizontal displacement (column 6)
- Vertical displacement (column 7)
- The output must stop where the y(t) becomes negative
- What else to include
- Appropriate comments in the code
- Appropriate variable declarations
- Compile the program as “yourlastnameprojectile3.exe”
- Email
