Go to the website at http://www.sciencejoywagon.com/explrsci/media/range.htm and experiment to find the following. Follow each experiment with a diagram and a series of calculations that show your answers.
a) the launch velocity necessary to hit a ball at a 45 degree angle and score a hole-in-one. Based on the time for the parabola, calculate v(x) and v(y) initial.
b) the launch velocity necessary to hit a ball at a 30 degree angle and score a hole-in-one. Based on the time for the parabola, calculate the maximum height of the ball.
c) the launch velocity necessary to hit a ball at an angle of your choosing not mentioned above and score a hole-in-one. Based on your data, calculate v(f) before the ball hits the cut. Determine the maximum height of the ball and v(x).
Repeat a) b), and c) with AIR on and determine the percentage of error in your calculations in each case. Show all work.
Hand in your INDIVIDUAL work before leaving class.
