Question

Use the average acceleration obtained in Activity 1 to determine how far the ball should drop at 0.3 second, 0.5 second, and 0.7 second. Using the simplified formula y = 1/2 at2 (because y0 = 0 and v0 = 0), calculate y to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.3 sec : -0.4 m

0.5 sec: -1.2 m

0.7 sec: -2.3 m

Explanation:

0.3 sec: 1/2(-9.3 m/s^2)(0.3 s)^2 = -0.4 m

0.5 sec: 1/2(-9.3 m/s^2)(0.5 s)^2 = -1.2 m

0.7 sec: 1/2(-9.3 m/s^2)(0.7 s)^2 = -2.3 m
