By Allan Franklin, University of Colorad ... Physics, and natural science in general, is a reasonable enterprise based on valid experimental evidence, criticism, and rational discussion. It provides us with knowledge of the physical world, and it is experiment that provides the evidence that grounds this knowledge.

Information on physics experiments, from classic experiments to those that can be performed for a science fair. ... Before starting a physics experiment, there are some basic principles that need to be taken into consideration. An experiment needs to be set up and analyzed in a very precise fashion to yield meaningful results.

EXPERIMENT 4 - PROJECTILE MOTION; A steel ball is allowed to roll down an inclined tube with an inclined lower end. The object of this experiment is to use your vast knowledge of physics to show that you can calculate where, within experimental limits (which are what?), the ball will land.
