Vertical Marble Launcher

Arrange the desk in a way such that the direction of launch will be clear for at least 4 meters.

Vertical marble launcher.

B how far from the table will it hit the floor. Marbles can be launched from five different speeds at any angle between 0 and 90. If the vertical velocity component is equal to 0 then it s the case of horizontal projectile motion. Use the vernier projectile launcher to investigate important concepts in two dimensional kinematics.

Extra problems 1 a car dnves offa wharf at 15 m s if the wharf is 25 m above water calculate. The vertical velocity changes by 9 8 m s each second of motion. The launcher can launch at angles from 0 horizontal to 90 degrees vertical. Easy to read protractor allows for precise measurements and calculations.

For this experiment you will use angles from 0 to 80 degrees. Place the cpo launcher near the edge of a student desk. Projectiles are objects upon which the only force is gravity. Three vectors v vx and vy form a right triangle.

The test involved launching the object and measuring the initial height angle and the displacement of the object. B the horizontal distance. You can use a bubble level to align the. If additionally α 90 then it s the case of free fall.

A marble with a speed of 2 0 m s rolls off the edge of a table 1 8 m high a how long does it take it to hit the floor. The assignment was to create a projectile launcher to test if increasing the initial angle of an object marble would increase the total displacement of the launched object. The vertical velocity component vy is equal to v sin α. The solid heavy base provides an easy to use and reliable setup.

This design of a marble launcher uses a plunger that is pulled back inside of the barrel so that a compression spring begins to compress and create potential energy once released the spring drives the plunger through the barrel which forces the marble out of the barrel. A the time of flight assume down is positive. Put the timer in interval mode and connect the photogate to input a. Velocity of the marble can range from 3 m s to 9 m s.

Write down the equations of motion. Durable apparatus to study velocity acceleration and projectile motion. Launch steel balls at angles between 0 and 70 degrees and over distances up to 2 5 m.
