Ball Toss By: Akshar Tom S. Tom C. Ari
Procedure In this lab we were asked to throw a ball up in the air over the sensor and get a graph on our calculator. After we threw it up we had to hold it over the sensor where we caught it for a couple of seconds until the calculator showed the graph.
Graph X min = .232 X max = 1.048 Y min = .174 Y max = 3.04 X scale = .1632 Y scale = .57 Vertex: 2.7105 Feet from Sensor Seconds
Equation y=-13.35x^2+16.52x-2.46
Vertex (.62, 2.7105) Reaches max height of .62 seconds after release at a vertical distance of 2.7105ft
Less initial velocity? The whole graph would be scaled down. Vertex would be lower and x intercept would be closer together.
Gravity (because science) Isaac Newton wrote the algorithm to describe the gravitational force between two bodies. It looks like this: Force Masses of the two bodies (multiplied together) Distance between M1 and M2 6.67×10−11
