I don’t know how to handle this Physics question and need guidance.
I have added 3 graphs to the file below. Use these graphs to answer the questions in the file. One of the graph items is a cotton ball the other is a plastic ball
Lab 1 Motion In One Direction L PHYSICS 1021 Question 1. Look at your table of position values. Calculate the difference between one data point in the next for both the ball and cotton ball (you can do this on scratch paper or in your head, it doesn’t need to go in your report) Does the interval between the successive position values change much as the motion progresses for the cotton ball? How about for the ball? Is this expected based on the assumption that the cotton ball reaches terminal velocity? Use the interval values you found and the definition of velocity (vy = y/t) to support your answer. Question 2. Qualitatively speaking, how do the two data series differ in the graph? Question 3. Does the linear fit line up well with the last five points of the cotton ball data? If so, we can safely assume that the y position changes linearly with time. What physical quantity is represented by the slope in this graph? a) Make a new graph of the y-velocity vs. time for the ball and cotton ball (both on the same graph). Copy this graph to your report as well. Question 4. Qualitatively speaking, how do the two data series differ in the velocity graph? Question 5. What should be the slope of the cotton ball’s velocity vs. time data if it does indeed reach terminal velocity on its way down? Question 6. What physical quantity is represented by the slope of a velocity vs. time graph? Question 7. Capstone only knows the framerate of the video in frames per second (which is embedded in the video file) and the distance calibration you put in. Use the definition of velocity to explain how Capstone calculated the velocity of the object with this information. Question 8. How do the instantaneous velocity values for the last five data points of the cotton ball’s velocity vs. time compare to the average velocity you got from the slope of your fit? Are the two consistent with each other? ...
