Motion in Two Dimensions vs. Time Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to observe and understand the concepts of two dimensional motion, velocity, and how gravity affects the speed and acceleration of an object in motion. To do this, we recorded a video demonstration of a ball that was dropped from a tall height. We utilized the program, PASCO capstone and used the Video Analysis to time track the motion and direction of the ball and allowed us to graph the Position (m) vs Time (s), and Velocity (m/s) vs Time (s), Acceleration vs. Time (s) in x and y intervals. Procedure: In this experiment, a set up of a video capturing device, a ball, and the program PASCO capstone were utilized. The video capturing device was angled in an upwards position where the video can demonstrate the ball being tossed up in the air and back down to ground level. After recording, we utilized the Video Analysis feature in the program PASCO capstone and selected the ball as Object #1. We selected track object and selected the ball as it was falling, marks were placed to where the position of the ball was as it dropped to the ground. After, we graphed six different graphs consisting of; Y-Position vs. Time, X-Position vs. Time, Y- Velocity, X-Velocity, Y-Acceleration vs. Time, X-Acceleration vs. Time. Sources of Uncertainty: An uncertainty that will occur is the plotting of the points. In the video analysis, we had to plot the position of the object when it dropped onto the floor. However, a source of uncertainty is where we clicked on the video. Multiple clicks can result in a different position and a different slope overall. Another uncertainty is how many clicks we would make in the video, as fewer clicks might result in data that is not precise and too many clicks might skew the data. Another uncertainty would be drag as when drag increases, the acceleration might decrease.
