Vertical Marble Launcher Diagram

Put the timer in interval mode and connect the photogate to input a.

Vertical marble launcher diagram.

Procedure for the horizontal launch to find the device launch velocity. Stopwatch might be needed for part 2. This angle will be the angle θ of the initial velocity v o. Use the graph to the right for questions 6 through 8.

Uff that was a lot of calculations. T 2 vy g range of the projectile. Shown in the diagram to the right. Use the diagram to the right to answer question 11 14 it represents a cart that is rolling along a tabletop at a constant velocity and a ball that will chop et the instant the cart rolls off the cclgc of the tabletop.

The launcher can launch at angles from 0 horizontal to 90 degrees vertical. A marble launcher shoots a marble horizontally from the height of 0 2 m above a horizontal floor. Lockheed martin is a leader in providing vertical launching systems and munitions for the navy with products such as the mk 41 the single cell launcher the extensible launching system and the vertical launch anti submarine rocket. Projectiles are objects upon which the only force is gravity.

For this experiment you will use angles. Place the cpo launcher near the edge of a student desk. The object s vertical displacement as a function of time. The marble launcher has different angle settings from 0 to 90.

Vy v sin α time of flight. Attach one photogate to the marble launcher so that the marble breaks the light beam as it comes out of the barrel. Gravity being a vertical force causes a vertical acceleration. Compare the time it takes for the cart to travel from x to z.

Let s sum that up to form the most essential projectile motion equations. Launching the object from the ground initial height h 0. R 2 vx vy g. Cart eventually lands at point z.

C setting up the marble launcher c 1 1. Vx v cos α vertical velocity component. Use this diagram to answer questions 28 through 30. The angle can be changed by untightening the large knob on the rear of the launcher arm of the marble launcher and rotating the launcher arm to the appropriate angle then retightening the knob.

Projectile motion lab purpose determine the initial velocity of ball launched horizontally predict and verify the range of ball launched at an angle equipment.
