Calculate: Select the Shuttlecock. Check that the Initial height is 3 meters and the Atmosphere is None. Click Play and wait for the Shuttlecock to fall. Select the BAR CHART tab and turn on Show numerical values. A. How long did it take the shuttlecock to fall to the bottom?
B. What was the acceleration of the shuttlecock during its fall?
C. What was the velocity of the shuttlecock when it hit the bottom? (Note: This is an example of instantaneous velocity.)
D. What is the mathematical relationship between these three values? 8. Make a rule: If the acceleration is constant and the starting velocity is zero, what is the relationship between the acceleration of a falling body (a), the time it takes to fall (t), and its instantaneous velocity when it hits the ground (v)? Express your answer as an equation relating v, a, and t: v = 9. Test: Click Reset. On the CONTROLS tab, set the Initial height to 12 meters. Click Play.
A. How long did it take for the shuttlecock to fall 12 meters?
B. Assuming the acceleration is still m/s 2, what is the instantaneous velocity of the shuttlecock when it hits the ground? Show your work below. v =
C. Select the BAR CHART tab. What is the final velocity of the shuttlecock?
D. Does this agree with your calculated value?
