Chapter 11, Problem 4ICA
Your team has designed three tennis ball launchers, and you have run tests to determine which launcher best meets the project criteria. Each launcher is set to three different launch angles, and the total distance the ball flies through the air is recorded. These experimental data are summarized in the table. Plot all three sets of data on a scatter plot, showing one data set for each of the three launchers on a single graph. Launch angle should be plotted on the horizontal axis.
| Launcher 1 | Launcher 2 | Launcher 3 | |||
| Launch Angle (θ) [o] | Distance (d) [ft] | Launch Angle (θ) [o] | Distance (d) [ft] | Launch Angle (θ) [o] | Distance (d) [ft] |
| 20 | 5 | 10 | 10 | 20 | 10 |
| 35 | 10 | 45 | 25 | 40 | 20 |
