Purpose: To determine the speed, velocity, and acceleration of a Frisbee by measuring the appropriate variables.
Materials:
·
· 1-3 frisbees
· a stopwatch
· a helper
· a measuring tape
· a calculator
Pre-Lab:
For each of the variables given complete the following chart.
| VARIABLE | FORMULA | UNITS |
| Speed | ||
| Velocity | ||
| Acceleration |
Procedure:
1. Throw your Frisbee(s) three times. Your partner will time how long the Frisbee is in the air.
2. After throwing the Frisbee use the measuring tape to measure how far the Frisbee went. If your measuring tape measures in feet, multiply that number by 0.305 in order to find the number of meters.
| TOSS | DISTANCE(m) | TIME(s) |
| 1 | ||
| 2 | ||
| 3 |
Post Lab Questions
