Pt1420 Unit 6 Lab Answers

OBSERVATIONS AND ANALYSIS
Trial 1 – Logger Pro graphs

Trial 2 – Logger Pro graphs

Trial 3 – Logger Pro graphs Trial 4 – Logger Pro graphs

Trial 5 – Logger Pro graphs Note: the analysis #1 a) and b) will only be demonstrated on the graphs of trial 1 for this report, trial 2-5 have approximately the same results. a) The region where the ball was being tossed but still remained in hand (x). Examine on the velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs
b) [A, B] marked as where the ball was in free fall and moving upward
B marked as where the ball has stopped at its highest position
[B, C] marked as where the ball was in free fall and moving downward.
