Question

Transcribed Image Text:PRE-LAB: PROJECTILE MOTION
Before beginning this pre-lab, you should read the background section in the lab manual
for the corresponding lab. You may also find it helpful to review the rules for error
propagation that can be found in Canvas.
A cannonball is fired horizontally (launch angle
(1)
of 0°) from a height h above the ground, as in the
image to the right. The launch velocity is vo, and we
are only considering acceleration due to gravity. Show
your work as you determine analytical (that is,
symbolically in terms of variables and constants)
equations for:
(a)
h
the time At before the cannonball hits the
ground, in terms of h, vo, and the acceleration
due to gravity
the distance x that the object travels horizontally before hitting the ground, in
terms of h, vo, and the acceleration due to gravity
the launch velocity vo, in terms of x, h, and the acceleration due to gravity
X

Suppose a ball is released from rest at time t = 0.0 s. The ball is allowed to for
Suppose a ball falls a distance of 168 ±2 cm when released from rest. What is

- Two dogs, Ajax and Bandit, are pulling a Radio Flyer wagon carrying their best cat friend, Casper. the overhead view of the dog force vectors is shown to scale in the grid at the right. (Assume 4 significant figures.) a. Find the single force that is equivalent to the two forces shown. b. If that old rusty wagon DOES NOT MOVE, find the force (including direction) that the ground exerts on the wagon to keep it in place, in spite of the dogs. The forces are measured in units of newtons (N). (You may use EITHER geometry OR vector addition with Cartesian or polarcoordinates. Either way, a diagram to scale is required.
