- For a lab report, I have to answer these questions and am confused on how to get these answers from the graphs. The lab is on projectile motion and velocity. I basically threw a ball upwards and recorded its flight on tracker. The two pictures I attached show the vertical velocity by versus time and the horizontal velocity vx versus time. From the velocity vs. time graph(s) determine the acceleration of the ball independently for each component of the motion as a function of time. What is the acceleration of the ball just after it is thrown, and just before it is caught or lands? What is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration at its highest point? Is this value reasonable? Determine the launch velocity of the ball from the velocity vs. time graphs in the x and y directions. Is this value reasonable? Determine the velocity of the ball at its highest point. Is this value reasonable?arrow_forwardStarting at 48th Street, Dylan rides his bike due east on Meridian Road with the wind at his back. He rides for 20 min at 15 mph.
