Projecticle motion

The video was filmed with a

slow-motion phone; the wall
was thrown upwards in a
curve motion and then
landed at the other side.

Step was to place the

measurements correctly, by
this I mean the scale of 1m
which of course my partner
is holding.

Then we used the Pasco

Capstone
software
to
upload the video to the
software and make an
analysis of it.

And the Y and X graph to

show the movement of the
ball as it was thrown into
the air.

Final step crosses where

added for each frame to
show the vertical and
horizontal
movement
that the ball did when
launched.
After all the dots were
placed a graph of
vertical and horizontal
velocity were placed.

This was the graph for vertical motion, as we can see

the motion of the graph changes at a constant rate.
This means that the rate is the same as the gradient
which is 9, 33, acceleration is the same as the gradient
9, 33 therefore it is the same as the value of gravity
which is 9, 81. This means that the gravity had an
effect on the ball, which is correct. As a result the
acceleration of the ball is 9, 33 which is close to 9, 81.
Gravity is what slows down the ball vertically; it is not
exact because friction is a factor.

This was the graph for horizontal motion, we can see

that is almost a straight line that does not change and
is constant. The line is this way because gravity affects
the object vertically, when horizontally there is no
gravity affecting the ball; therefore the line is straight
and constant. The only factor that could affect the
horizontal velocity here would be Friction, but it is
negligible. This shows the horizontal velocity is the
same thought the whole motion of the ball.
