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
For this experiment you have to use the following apparatus: a table, a bench, a ramp, some marble balls, 3 white recording papers, 3 carbon papers, some adhesive tape for fixing the papers on the table or bench, a long meter scale to measure long heights and lengths, a short meter scale for measuring short distances on the recording papers, and a weight scale to measure the mass of a ball.
The setup is briefly sketched through the following points (elaborate in the report).
- A bench is placed on a table. There must be enough space in front of the bench for the balls to bounce.
- A ramp is placed on the bench.
3. Method and Data
Quantity | Symbol | Value | Error () |
---|---|---|---|
Height of the release point | cm | = 0.1 cm | |
Height of the end of the ramp | cm | cm | |
Height of the second bounce | cm | cm | |
Position of the first bounce | cm | cm | |
Position of the second bounce | cm | cm | |
Mass of the marble ball | cm | 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
where gravitational acceleration cm s.
Horizontal component of the acceleration of the ball
The unchanging horizontal velocity of the ball .
Vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the table at point A .
The time the ball takes to reach point B from point A .
Vertical component of the velocity of the ball after it leaves point A .
Net velocity of the ball before it impacts at A .
Net velocity of the ball after it impacts at A .
4.2 Angle and height
Maximum height the ball reaches between points A and B
The angle of the trajectory before reaching A
and after leaving A
4.3 Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy of the ball before collision at point A
Kinetic energy of the ball after collision at point A
4.4 Momentum
Vertical component of the momentum before reaching A and after leaving A .
Horizontal component of the momentum before reaching A .
Net momentum before reaching A .
Net momentum after leaving A .
4.5 Impulse
Vertical component of the impulse imparted on the ball by the table .
Horizontal component of the impulse imparted on the ball by the table .
