Kinematics meets Reality

Choose at least two of the following events to complete the data collection and calculations:

1. How high did you jump?

2. When and where will they meet?

3. What is the muzzle velocity of the projectile launcher? (vertical launch)

4. Launched horizontally from twice the height, will it travel twice as far (horizontally)?

5. Create an event of your own, we have a lot of ways of measuring many different values be creative.

Using the Vernier force plate, determine your total time in the air.
What information can you determine from this time?

Given two carts traveling at different speeds, determine when and where they will meet.

Experiment when they are traveling in the same direction and in opposite directions.

Using a projectile launcher set at 90˚(vertical), launch a marble from the edge of a table so that it lands on the floor below.

Using the Phyphox Acoustic Stopwatch and a meter stick (tape measure) what information can you calculate?

Using a projectile launcher set at 0˚ (horizontal), determine the distance (x) a marble will travel from height 1h.

Will launching the marble from a height of 2h cause the marble to travel a distance of 2x? Explain your results.
