Cast Flight Lab

A proposed comparison between ideal projectile motion and an effective quadratic-drag model for a hookless practice plug.

Current boundary: No student-written protocol, pilot, data, model, or result exists yet. This is a possible direction, not a completed research plan.

the proposed question

How far does an ideal projectile model differ from a simple model with effective quadratic drag for the same practice-plug flight? The comparison is still a proposal, not a completed experiment.

the next step

I would first write the initial question and model, then ask my teacher and school what review and safety requirements must be met before collecting anything.
