Purpose/Hypothesis Purpose: The purpose of this project was to determine whether or not initial velocity affects the distance travelled by a “Hi-Bounce Pinky” Ball. Hypothesis: If the same ball is thrown two times at the same angle with varying velocities, then the ball will travel further in the trial with the higher velocity of the two. Setup:
Results Ball 1 Initial Velocity: 12.058 ft/s X-Initial: 0 ft Y-Initial: 4.136 ft X-Final: 3.841 Apogee: 6.5 ft (2.364 ft higher than initial height) Ball 2 Initial Velocity: 13.708 ft/s X-Initial: 0 ft Y-Initial: 4.267 ft X-Final: 5.419 ft Apogee: 7.203 ft (2.936 ft higher than initial height.
Results Continued Ball 1 Ball 2 Final X and Y Positions Final X and Y Positions
Analysis and Conclusion • In Trial 1, the ball had an initial velocity of 12.058 ft/s and it traveled 3.841 ft in the x-direction. • In Trial 2, the ball had an initial velocity of 13.708 ft/s and it traveled 5.419 ft in the x-direction. • Based on these results, I can conclude that my hypothesis was correct. When the same ball is thrown at the same angle with different velocities, the ball will always travel further in the trial with the higher initial velocity of the two.
