Vertical Marble Launcher Physics

Marbles can be launched from five different speeds at any angle between 0 and 90.

Vertical marble launcher physics.

Sturdy hardwood construction is built to last. Launch steel balls at angles between 0 and 70 degrees and over distances up to 2 5 m. B the horizontal distance. Use the vernier projectile launcher to investigate important concepts in two dimensional kinematics.

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. Place the cpo launcher near the edge of a student desk. C setting up the marble launcher c 1 1. Durable apparatus to study velocity acceleration and projectile motion.

A the time of flight assume down is positive. Shoot the marble twice and record both distances traveled. For this experiment you will use angles from 0 to. B how far from the table will it hit the floor.

You can use a bubble level to align the. First set the launcher so it aims at an angle of 0 degrees. Place the launcher on a flat surface and then role tape measure out directly beside the marble launcher. Put the timer in interval mode and connect the photogate to input a.

The launcher can launch at angles from 0 horizontal to 90 degrees vertical. Arrange the desk in a way such that the direction of launch will be clear for at least 4 meters. 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. Attach one photogate to the marble launcher so that the marble breaks the light beam as it comes out of the barrel.

Extra problems 1 a car dnves offa wharf at 15 m s if the wharf is 25 m above water calculate. First set the angle to 50. Velocity of the marble can range from 3 m s to 9 m s. Easy to read protractor allows for precise measurements and calculations.
