Ap physics 1 students completed a difficult but practical marble launcher lab on tuesday oct 7.
Marble launcher experiment.
State your answer to the question as a hypothesis remember i think is wimpy 2.
Be sure the light beam crosses the center of the barrel.
An experiment in speed and motion.
Variables in an experiment stop and think 1.
State your answer to the question as a hypothesis remember i think is wimpy 2.
From this information students describe the accuracy and precision of the landings.
Use a strip of masking tape on the floor to make sure that the marble launcher is consistently placed in the same location.
The marble was not dropped at the exact same point each time.
For this experiment you will use angles from 0 to 80 degrees.
Variables in an experiment stop and think 1.
What is the dependent variable in this.
Using a plot of a set of landing sites on a coordinate plane students determine the average distance deviation of the sites to one another.
They were as off as 20 centimeters off the actual landing point.
Make sure a lab partner is ready to catch the marble after it hits the.
We had about two errors in our experiment.
Students determine the accuracy and precision of the marble launcher experiments.

Are experiments with the marble launcher.
What is the independent variable in this experiment.
Using a projectile launcher to verify that increasing the initial angle increases the range thanoja gnanatheevam yadesh prashad saad saleem mai wageh and timothy yang.
Marble launcher demonstration for physical science and physics is a durable apparatus to study velocity acceleration and projectile motion.
After each trial measure the horizontal distance traveled by the marble.
Finally ap physics 1 teacher dr.
The photogate attaches to the tab on the end of the wood piece that supports the barrel.
Place the marble in the launcher and pull the spring handle to the 4th slot this compresses the spring the same each trial.
It will launch a small marble about 1 5cm in diameter.
The equations were not very accurate as to where the marble landed.
November 7th 2011 abstract we created a projectile launcher out of materials found at home.
Launch the same marble 5 times and mark the impact point on the floor.
At which angle do you think the marble will travel the greatest distance.
What is the independent variable the one thing that changes in this experiment.
Students had to experiment to figure out velocity values and had to perform multiple trials in order to calculate other important values.
To create the marble launcher student will fold the index card lengthwise like a hot dog.
Experiment taken from mcgraw hill 5th grade physical science textbook students create a marble launcher using an index card and use a marbel meter stick and timer to determine the speed in which it will travel.
The lab consisted of several different portions.
