Calculate the acceleration for a ball bearing

[NMJ09]

Calculate the acceleration for a ball bearing between 25cm and 75cm of .4005 sec & .4013 sec and .4022 sec.

Lab Help?!

Thanks !

first, homework section.

second, what is the ball doing, going up, down, angle?

I would be happy to assist you in calculating the acceleration for a ball bearing between 25cm and 75cm. First, we need to gather some information such as the initial velocity, final velocity, and time interval for each trial.

For the first trial, where the time interval is 0.4005 seconds, we can use the formula a = (vf - vi) / t. Assuming the initial velocity (vi) is 0 cm/s, we can calculate the final velocity (vf) by dividing the distance (75cm - 25cm = 50cm) by the time interval (0.4005 seconds). This gives us a final velocity of 125 cm/s. Plugging these values into the formula, we get a = (125 cm/s - 0 cm/s) / 0.4005 s = 312.5 cm/s^2.

For the second trial, where the time interval is 0.4013 seconds, we can follow the same steps and get a final velocity of 124.688 cm/s and an acceleration of 311.29 cm/s^2.

And for the third trial, with a time interval of 0.4022 seconds, we get a final velocity of 124.378 cm/s and an acceleration of 309.78 cm/s^2.

It is important to note that these values may vary slightly due to experimental error and other factors. However, these calculations give us a good estimate of the acceleration for the ball bearing between 25cm and 75cm. I hope this helps with your lab work!
