Here is the data for both classes.  You will notice that there are 2 trials recorded for each angle.

3rd Period

Angle (degrees)Distance (yds)
15.0                 20.5, 28.0
20.0                 27.3, 26.2
25.0                 29.8, 30.5
30.0                 38.0, 33.1
40.0                 37.0, 42.0
45.0                 38.3, 24.6

For the write-up (due in class on Mon/Tues 11/5-11/6, although you will have some time to finish it then).

1)  Neat data table with title, labels, and units
2)  Calculate distance in meters (1 yd = 0.9144 meters)
3)  Calculate initial speeds (1 per angle)
4)  Calculate height (1 per angle)
5)  Calculate time in air (1 per angle)
6)  Show work for 1 example calculation of each type.
