- Homework Statement
- The assigment is to calculate the inital velocity of a marble rolling off a table. I'm not supposed to perform the lab itself, so all the values presented here are made up.
- Relevant Equations
- y=Voy×t-(gt^2)/2
Vox=x/t
This is how I think the set up of the lab should look like.
I've decided the height to be y=1,5m.
The length x is assumed to be 0.32m.
where Voy =0m/s
the time it takes for the marble to drop 1,5m is 0,55s
the inital velocity of the marble is around 0,47m/s
I Think I have the calculations correct. My problem is the discussion part. Since all my values are made up how credible are my results? What could errors in a visual lab be?
