VIDEO+OF+A+BOUNCING+BALL

IB PHYSICS > IB IA EXPERIMENTS =PRACTICAL: VIDEO OF A BOUNCING BALL=

APPARATUS:
Basketball; video camera; Logger Pro software

PROCEDURE:
Film a bouncing ball and analyse the motion. Use the software to analyse the video; plot graphs of horizontal displacement against time and vertical velocity against time. Calculate gradients from both graphs and use them to discuss any changes in horizontal velocity and vertical acceleration

REPORT:
For one of the graphs, show your working for the calculations which you make and estimate uncertainties in your measurements and calculations.
