1. Trajectory of a projectile

The report should have the following five sections. Each section must be written by a separate student. The whole report must be in a single Google Colab file and attached from Google Drive into the associated Google Classroom assignment.

1. Introduction and Theory

A projectile

2. Experimental Setup

List of apparatus: table, bench, ramp, marble ball, recording paper, carbon paper, adhesive tape, long meter scale, short meter scale, weight scale.

3. Method and Data

Quantity Symbol Value Error (δ)
Height of the release point H 11 cm δH = 0.1 cm
Height of the end of the ramp h cm δh= cm
Height of the second bounce h cm δh= cm
Position of the first bounce s cm δs= cm
Position of the second bounce s cm δs= cm
Mass of the marble ball m cm δm= g

4. Analysis and Results

Using the six measurements you will have to calculate the following quantities.

4.1 Time and velocity

Time for the ball to leave the ramp and reach point A

t=2hg

where gravitational acceleration g=981±1 cm s2.

Horizontal component of the acceleration of the ball ax=?

The unchanging horizontal velocity of the ball vx=s/t.

Vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the table at point A vy=gt=2gh.

The time the ball takes to reach point B from point A tAB=(ss)/vx.

Vertical component of the velocity of the ball after it leaves point A vy=gtAB/2.

Net velocity of the ball before it impacts at A v=vx2+vy2.

Net velocity of the ball after it impacts at A v=vx2+vy2.

4.2 Angle and maximum height

Maximum height the ball reaches between points A and B

h=g2(tAB2)2.

The angle of the trajectory before reaching A

θ=arctanvyvx

and after leaving A

θ=arctanvyvx.

4.3 Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy of the ball before collision at point A

E=12mv2.

Kinetic energy of the ball after collision at point A

E=12mv2.

4.4 Momentum

Vertical component of the momentum before reaching A Py=mvy and after leaving A Py=mvy.

Horizontal component of the momentum before reaching A Px=mvx.

Net momentum before reaching A p=mv.

Net momentum after leaving A p=mv.

4.5 Impulse

Vertical component of the impulse imparted on the ball by the table Jy=pypy.

Horizontal component of the impulse imparted on the ball by the table Jx=pxpx.

5. Discussion and Conclusions
