Physics Laboratory Report Motion in Two-Dimensions Jordan Jones Group Members: Xavier Williams, Jacob Miller Date submitted 2/14/2022 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to be able to determine the speed and acceleration due to gravity from tossing a tennis ball video. We will be able to recognize that objects do not always move in straight lines or in the same direction. We will be able to determine the gravity from the projectile motion data and the graphs that we generate from this data. In addition, we are going to be able to become familiar with the effects of constant acceleration on velocity and position. Apparatus: Computer with PASCO Capstone software, tennis ball, smartphone, or video camera, meterstick. Procedure: Part 1: Guiding Questions and Setup Suggestions • Set up your arcing motion of the ball •Place a meterstick in the frame is to have a reference for distance •Transfer the video that we took to the computer. Part 2: Video Analysis •Open the PASCO Capstone software. Click the Video Analysis then drag or drop video analysis to the workspace then open your video file. •Click the “Enter video analysis mode” button at the top of the video. Part 3: Further Analysis
•Make graphs for both motion, velocity, and acceleration. Use the graph that we make and the coordinate tool Precautions and Sources of Error One error that could have occurred from this experiment was computer experimental data error. Our graphs came out with results that showed that there was a skewing towards the end of what we expected from our results. •Additionally, not making sure that the graphs had the correct labels and units could mess up the data collected. •Another source of error could be recording the video in a very dim light. Causing the capstone to not register everything that is going into the video. Data Calculations and Fitting
Questions 1. What is the time value when the ball in your video is at its maximum height? The time value for when our ball in our video is at its maximum height would be 1.700 seconds. 2. Is the time value when the ball in your video has zero y-velocity the same as the time value for when it is at maximum height? Would you expect them to be the same? Explain The time value when the ball has zero y-velocity is the same as the time value for when it is at maximum height. When the ball reaches its peak, it falls due to the gravitational pull. At that point the ball would be at zero y velocity.
