A ball is rolled repeatedly down an incline and launched in free flight in a vertical plane. It strikes a vertical drawing board set perpendicular to the plane of flight and records each point of striking by means of carbon paper on white. The board is moved farther and farther from point of launching of ball and at same time laterally by equal amounts. Thus a curve which lies in xy plane is made to record points in yz plane. In a short time, good curve of trajectory is obtained and then compared with theoretical curve fitted to origin, highest point, and range. Unexpectedly, the experimental is not sensitive to g, so would lead to exactly the same curve on moon or Mars!
