Question

Consider an object rolling off of your lab bench. Discuss how you might be able to make measure- ments to determine its initial velocity when leaving the bench. (a) What evidence have you previously collected that makes you think your method for answering this question is feasible?

Answer 1

Answer:

measure the position every so often with a stopwatch

Explanation:

A possible method of measurement is to place a measuring tape along the path and measure the position every so often with a stopwatch, with this we can make a graph of position against time and by extrapolation find the initial velocity.

This is a method used in measurements of uniform movements of bodies
