Experiment #1
Hypothesis
How will the angle of the projectile affect the displacement?
The displacement will be directly proportional to the angle.
Procedure
Independent Variable: Angle
Dependent Variable: Displacement
Speed and Height will remain constant
Speed: 40 m/s
Height: 0 m
Set the projectile's angle at different degrees, starting with twenty, ending with 70, and increasing by intervals of ten. press "Start" and record the displacement corresponding with the angle.
Data Table
Results
The results show that as the angle increases, the displacement increases. This applies to the angles 20-40. As the angles increase 50-70, the displacement decreases at the same intervals as angles 20-40's displacement.
Conclusion
To conclude, my hypothesis was incorrect. I originally expected the displacement to be directly proportional to the angles of the projectile. However, the data ended up creating a parabola.
Experiment #2
Hypothesis
How will height affect the displacement of the object?
Displacement and height will be directly proportional.
Procedure
Angle: constant angle of 45 degrees
Speed: constant speed of 40 m/s
Dependent Variable: displacement (x)
Independent Variable: height
Increase height by intervals of ten starting from zero. Record x displacement.

Data Table
Results
The data table reveals that as the height the projectile launches from increases, the displacement will increase.
Conclusion
Since both variables both increase as the intervals change, this means they are directly proportional. In turn, my hypothesis was correct.
