Consider the gravity-free path (horizontal component)
1. Draw a vertical line corresponding to each position of the ball. (Consider the geometric center of the ball). Measure the distance between each position.
2. If every interval/position corresponds to a 1 second time interval, compute for the velocity and record it in the table below:
Distance (cm)
Time (s)
Velocity(m/s)
Position
3. What can you say about the velocity you have computed?
4. From your computation, describe the horizontal velocity of the ball. Therefore, is there a horizontal acceleration?
5.Sketch and label the velocity-time and the acceleration - time graphs on the axes below.
