Pre-Lab Quiz 8: Energy Conservation 1

What is the kinetic energy of the ball at when it is at its maximum height?

zero

In our experiment, the launcher will be set to an inclination of:

90 degrees (straight up)

In our experiment, we will predict the maximum height that the ball will go using:

the conservation of energy

What is the reason for the correction factor in the formula for Vo?

to account for gravity

In our experiment, we will measure directly:

the transit time for the ball to cross the photogates, the distance between the photogates, the height of the first photogate, and the maximum height of the ball.
