Questions below are based on the following passage: To launch tennis balls from varying angles and at different speeds, a student builds the catapult shown in Figure 1. The tennis ball is propelled out of the catapult with velocity and angle  .  The student conducts two experiments to measure the distance between the launch site and where the ball lands. The student varies, launches the ball at a constant 15 m/s, and measures the distance travelled. The results are provided in Figure 2.  In the second experiment, the student varies the launch velocity of the ball, launches it at a... Show more
