Trajectory of a balloon

In this investigation the projectile motion of a balloon will be compared to the theoretical model by calculating predicted range and maximum height from the equations of motion. The balloon is projected by stretching it through a cardboard tube (toilet paper roll) and its trajectory measured by analysing video. The aim of the experiment is to find out how close to the theoretical model this motion is and to attempt...
