Question

The data from a bounce experiment is shown below. However, due to a bug in the program, the left side of the fit or model equations may be mislabeled (for example, "vx" may really be "vy"). From the graphs and what you know should be the type of curve for the x and y motions, calculate the requested quantities from the curve fits, and double-check your answers by comparing to the curve visually. For any quantity that you can determine from more than one curve fit, you should use the average of the two values in your calculations.

The time between bounces ?t:

The height of the bounce h:

The velocity in the x-direction vx:

The magnitude of the velocity right after the first bounce:

The acceleration of gravity g:

Explanation / Answer

a) t = 1.1 s

b) h = 1.6 m

c) vx = 1 m/s

d) vy = -5

vx = 1

hence

v0 = root( 1 + 25) = root(26)

= 5.1 m/s

e) g = 9.82 m/s^2
