Hello Guys,
This is my first post here. I need help on my homework that I have been working on all evening. Basically I am given video data. 10 trials of a plastic ball in projectile motion. I have to use Logger Pro. Four things I need to find out for each trial:
x-velocity
y-velocity
launch velocity from x data
launch velocity from y data
I analyzed the video already.
x velocity will the slope of the linear fit equation. In this case velocity is constant and acceleration is zero.
How do I find y velocity!?
I believe launch velocity will be found out using Pythagoras theorem using the first x-velocity value and y velocity value.
I am very confused about this. Can somebody show me the way?
Thanks!
