Specifications

1. We were discussing as a group what we would like our project to look like. We decided to keep the cannon part in tact. However, we decided to cut the extra can open to use as the base.
2. We finally decided to set our cannon to 35 degrees. We decided upon this because it was not too high but not too low. The higher we go the more air resistance the ball will face. However, if we go too low the bal will bounce too soon.
3. We expected a lot out of our cannon. We were hoping it would go about 20 feet. However, that was not how it happened. Our cannon just began to burn and the ball did not launch out.
4. If I could do this project again, I would have made the cannon shorter so that more pressure would build up.
5. Our ball shot a total of 0 feet.
6. R= Vo2sin(20)/g is the formula to find the distance your projectile flies in the air which in our case was zero. Our initial velocity was also zero because the cannon never gained any velocity and did not leave the cannon.
