Part A: Motion of a Falling Object (Ball) A student drops two objects off of a cliff as part of an experiment. First, they drop a ball off a cliff and record the distance it travels downward. time Os 1s 2 s = 3 s 4 s 5s 6 s 7s distance travelled 0 m 4.9 m 19.4 m 44.1 m 79.2 m 123 m 176 m 240 m 1. Construct a position-time graph using your data. Draw the smooth curve of best fit. Remember that a good graph has a clear title and clearly labelled axes (with quantity being measured and unit of measurement). 2. According to your position-time graph, what type of motion did the object seem to undergo? 3. Construct a velocity-time graph using your data. You may use various methods to draw this graph: tangents, use of the kinematics equations to find the velocity at any time since the acceleration is constant, or close analysis of the data tables. Draw the line of best fit. Calculate the slope of the line. What does the slope represent? 4. If acceleration is supposed to be 9.8 m/s² [down], determine the percent error of your value. measured value - accepted value accepted value % error x 100 Note that your percent error should never be negative, so if you get a negative value remove the negative sign (e.g, a -3% would become 3%). 5. State some possible causes of the error in your measured value. What techniques could be used to correct it? 6. Using your velocity-time graph, determine the maximum displacement of the object. Does this match the height from which the object was dropped?
