Abstract
Energy can neither be created nor can it be destroyed. It can only change from one form to another. This paper examines if the law of conservation of energy holds true in projectile motion. With advances in computing, we do not require artillery guns and sophisticated equipment for testing these concepts now. A Python-based computer simulation coded with the appropriate rules and set to accept the correct parameters (Mass of the object, Angle of Projection, and Initial Velocity) can conduct an infinite number of experiments and simplify reporting. Through this paper, we test the law of conservation of energy at different points along the projectiles trajectory and for three different parameters namely Mass of the object, Angle of Projection, and Initial Velocity and present our findings.
