Use the Lab screen to expand your ideas about what affects the landing location and path of a projectile. List any discoveries you made to identify additional things that affect the landing site of a projectile and/or path of a projectile. Next to each item, briefly explain why you think the motion of the projectile is affected..

* air resistance.

*the direction of the rotation of the Earth

rotation of the thrown body

Explanation:

The projectile launch is described by the expressions

x-axis         x = v₀ₓ t

y-axis         y = t - ½ gt²

When the things that affect this movement are analyzed, in order of importance we have:

* air resistance. This significantly changes the body's horizontal position, so it introduces a horizontal acceleration that is not contained in the equations.

* air resistance. At the height that the body reaches, since air resistance has the same direction as the gravity of gravity and therefore the relationship is more challenging.

* to a lesser extent the direction of launch, in the direction of the rotation of the Earth against. Since this creates an operational on the x and y axis that changes the initial assumption

* The possible rotation of the thrown body, since this rotation creates a lift that is not taken in the equations, this value is more noticeable the lighter the body, this effect has to keep the body longer in the air achieving more reach and height
