The experimental probability of an event is calculated by taking the number of times the event occurred divided by the total number of trials.

In this case, the coin landed on heads 32 times out of 50 flips.

So the experimental probability \( P \) of landing on heads is:

\[ P(\text{Heads}) = \frac{\text{Number of Heads}}{\text{Total Flips}} = \frac{32}{50} = 0.64 \]

To express this as a percentage, we multiply by 100:

\[ P(\text{Heads}) = 0.64 \times 100 = 64% \]

Thus, the experimental probability that the coin will land on heads on the next flip is 64%.
