Ok, I am writing a lab report for an experiment on projectile motion. Basically, we shot a bunch of water balloons, measured the distance, angle of fire, and time. Out of this, we are expected to extract initial X velocity, initial Y velocity, and initial velocity. Then, we must find the theoretical time and distance. HOWEVER, I don't believe that I can accurately find the theoretical values, because to do so, she expects us to use the calculated velocities, but those are based off of the measured time!
Basically, we are given the measured time, angle, and distance... and we are supposed to find the theoretical distance and time. Wouldn't that basically mean finding the time and distance based solely on the angle? Maybe I am just missing something...help me out!
