Lab 3 – Quantitative Analysis Questions 1. What is the average acceleration of the ball in the vertical direction? -8.343 m/s 2 Value Units 2. What is the average acceleration in the horizontal direction? 0.8647 m/s 2 Value Units 3. Is the acceleration constant throughout the entire motion? If ‘yes’, then why or if ‘no’ then why not? Select the appropriate check box below and write your answer in one sentence after ‘yes’ or ‘no’ Yes - No – Because according to the data the acceleration changes over time. 4. Which translation did you use in data set 2? Select the appropriate box. Translation 1 Translation 2 Translation 3 5. What are the differences and similarities between the position graphs data in set 1 and data set 2? Hint: describe shape and magnitude for both x and y. Differences – The graph of the Y Displacement for Data Set 2 is all below the Y – axis compared to the one from Data Set 1. Similarities – The graphs of the X Displacement are identical. The graphs of the Y Displacement also have the same shape.
6. Define position, velocity, and acceleration. Define each in one sentence only. Position – Point in the shot where the basketball is. Velocity – Change in displacement over time. Acceleration – Change in velocity over change in time. 7. Look at the Boker, S. (2001) reading provided. In Figure 1b the velocity curve starts low, peaks and returns to 0. Compare this graph with your own looking at the critical points in the velocity and position curves (i.e. where velocity peaks or is at 0 and where positions peaks, turns, or is 0). What factors in the basketball shot would cause the difference? (Hint: look at the acceleration graphs). The shot has human error, and also has the effect of gravity and environmental factors, the balls flight and bounce affected by the amount of air in it.
