Throw a ball so that it is projected vertically upward. Catch it at the same height it was released. Have a partner measure the time the ball is in the air - that is, from the time of release to the time the ball lands in your hand.
Throw a ball so that it is projected vertically upward. Catch it
at the same height it was released. Have a partner measure the time
the ball is in the air - that is, from the time of release to the
time the ball lands in your hand.
Determine the velocity of the ball at the moment of release and the
distance the ball traveled before it started its descent. Graph the
flight of the ball into five sections: (1) from initiation of
upward motion of the hand to just prior to release, (2) from moment
of release to just before maximum height, (3) at maximum height,
(4) from maximum height to just before you catch the ball, (5) from
the ball contact to the ball being brought to rest. For each
section, describe the displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
