I am doing a lab in class where we set up a ramp on a table and measured the distance the ball travels on the horizontal part of the track. We then rolled the a marble down the ramp and did trials on the time it took to travel the horizontal distance (catching the ball before it fell off the table)
I used the formula V= D/T to get speed of the ball as it rolled across the table.
How do I use kinematics equations to determine the horizontal and vertical distance from the table at which the ball will hit the floor.?
Vertical:
Vi =? d = ?
Vf = ? a = ?
t = ?
What equation should I use and how do I get the variables?
Horizontal:
Vi = 0 d = ?
Vf = ? a = -9.8 m/s^2
t= ?
If anyone could help me even a little I would appreciate it!
