| Ballistics is something that cannot be taken as a simple concept, it has formulas and specific ways of discovering it. The purpose of our specific experiment is to explore the effects of ballistics in the movement of certain objects (targets) using water pressure. The biggest finding we had while doing this experiment is that I found out that once you get to a certain angle (75º) the water hits the top of the target making it move in a minimal. My hypothesis was that as the angle at which the water is shot at increases the angle of movement of the angle does too. My hypothesis was correct until a certain extent. What this means is that all the time, both angles increased, once we got to a higher angle (75º) the movement of the target decreased in almost a 100% due to the fact that the water hit the target from above producing little movement. My findings are the same to the ones of other researchers due to the fact that they also found out that at a certain angle, as long as the distance between the shooting point and the target are the same, the water will hit the target from above reducing the angles the target moves. The only explanation that I can give about my findings is that my hypothesis is correct until the point where the water hits the target form above as mentioned before. My recommendation for further exploration is to find the exact angle at which the angle of movement of the target decreases. Ballistics is something that cannot be fully explored in one science experiment. A numerous series of experiments have to be performed to fully understand the concept of ballistics. |
