Thanks to our outstanding demonstrators (Astin, Ben, "Scant!" & Dr. Hogan ) -- and to some clever engineering by Casio -- we were able to get three cool shots of a ball dropping.
So, what does it mean to ACCELERATE?! There are several different points of the ball's location in each image. In your own words, respond to the two following questions:
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
(Show me that you understand the concepts of velocity and acceleration by being detailed in your response!)
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteAlthough the ball travels in the same direction, the constant change in acceleration due to gravity indicates a change in speed and therefore velocity. Velocity is a change in either speed OR direction, so since the ball's speed was altered, so was the velocity.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
There is more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image because of gravity. Gravity accelerates constantly, increasing the rate at which the ball drops at each point.

1. What's different about the ball's velocity at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteVelocity is the measurement of the change in distance in a certain amount of time. Though there is no change in the amount of time nor in the direction the ball travels towards the ground, the speed/rate that the ball is falling at is rapidly increasing because of gravity's pull. Thus, the ball is covering more distance in the same amount of time, so it is accelerating as it reaches the ground (meaning that the velocity increases as well due to the change in speed).
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
There is more distance between each point where the ball appears because of gravity's constant pull towards the ground. Gravity is a constant accelerator, thereby providing for a consistent rate of change. Further, the ball would increasingly be traveling 22 mi/hr/sec until it would hit the floor abruptly.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteThe difference in the ball's velocity at each point in the image is a result of gravity. Gravity is a constant change of acceleration; when the ball is let go gravity pulls it all the way down accelerating till it hits the grounds and stops for a brief moment, then deaccelerates up by bouncing up and then down again ultimately stopping acceleration.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
Again, because of gravity's constant acceleration the distance between each point where the ball appears grows. As gravity pulls the ball down it increases its speed until it hits the ground which it then deaccelerates and finally stops moving completely.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteVelocity is speed in a given direction. At each point, starting with the "top" image and ending with the "bottom" image(s) speed is increasing because of gravity. So the velocity is higher/faster at the bottom of the picture. Change in velocity depends on a change in speed OR direction. Speed is changing due to gravity, so velocity is changing too.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
Gravity pulls at 22 MPH/s and doubles each second. Therefore the velocity is faster as the ball falls because speed is increasing 22 MPH/s to 44 to 66 per second. "Ground" is covered faster so the space between each ball image lengthens.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteDue to the force of gravity, as the ball falls to the ground, it accelerates. The ball's velocity, or speed in a given direction, increases as gravity pulls the ball toward the ground; thus, as the ball's speed changes, the velocity does too.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
As Mr. Roman said in class, "gravity is a constant accelerator." As the ball fell to the ground, because of gravity, it accelerated at each moment. Therefore, each second, the speed of the ball actually doubled! In the first second, the ball traveled at gravity's pull rate, 22 mph but in the second second, it's speed doubled to 44 mph, and so on until it finally hit the ground.
1) The direction of the ball is down and as the ball is dropped it's speed is increased due to the gravity pushing the ball. Moreover the velocity is constantly changing/accelerating due to the speed increasing.
ReplyDelete2) There is more distance between the ball in the picture due to the acceleration. At first the ball's speed with be very little but as you gradually look at the picture the ball will have gained much more speed therefore increasing the distance between each frame. In addition gravity is aiding to this constant acceleration of the ball insofar gravity is a constant accelerator therefore doubling the speed of the ball from the previous speed the ball had. However when the ball hits the floor the ball's acceleration will decrease greatly.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteAs the ball drops from one of the demonstrator's hands it accelerates as it fall as toward the ground. The speed is changing due to gravity, so as the ball's speed changes its course, its velocity does as well. This is because velocity is a change in speed or direction.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
There is more distance between each point because of gravity's constant pull towards the ground. So, each second the ball dropped, the speed increased, to be exact 22 mph
1) The ball of course starts stationary at the top. The force of gravity is 22 mph per second. So, after the first second, the ball is traveling at 22 mph; after the second second, the ball is traveling at 44 mph; after the third second, the ball is traveling at 66 mph.
ReplyDelete2) There is more distance, because distance is in direct relation to time and speed. So, from the first image to the second image, the ball was traveling half as fast as the second image to the third image, and third image to fourth image. As the time decreases the speed increases.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteAlthough the direction of the ball does not change the speed does because of gravity. The acceleration caused by gravity is 22 mi/s/s which means every second the ball is falling it continuously speeds up, until it hits the ground. At this point the ball is changing direction and also speed dramatically, meaning the velocity still changed but slowed down.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
There is more distance between each point because the ball in fact doubles its speed due to gravity every second. So at each point the ball is travelling twice as fast, covering more distance, and appearing further apart. Once the ball hit the ground the distance changed again because the acceleration slowed down and eventually came to a stop.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteVelocity is a change in distance over a certain amount of time. At each point in the image the ball's velocity is increasing. This is because it is accelerating as it is falling down, due to the force of gravity. Gravity's speed is 22 mi/s/s so with the passing time, the ball's speed increases.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
There is more distance between each point on the image because the ball travels a farther distance per each second. For example at point 1 the ball is going 0 mi/s/s but at point 3 it is going 44 mi/s/s therefore covering more distance in the same amount of time. Gravity is a constant accelerator so the farther height from which something drops, the faster it will fall towards the end, and the spaces between each point will have increased even more.
1. What's the difference about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteAs the ball drops, its velocity increases until it hits the ground. Therefore, we can determine that the ball is accelerating due to the force of gravity pulling it down. Also, the ball's speed starts off at 0 and increases and goes back to 0 once it hits the ground, and increases again once it bounces back up.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
As the ball is speeding up, it travels a farther distance. For example, if a person were to drop two balls from off the roof of a building and both balls were captured in intervals, the one that has the most distance in between each picture is the one moving at a faster rate.
1. What's the difference about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteAs the ball is being held in the demonstrators hand, it currently has no velocity and no acceleration. As the demonstrator drops the ball, it starts accelerating quickly and gaining velocity all the way down until it hits the ground. Once it hits the ground it stops its velocity and acceleration until it bounces right back up and gains acceleration and velocity upwards this time.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
As the demonstrator lets go of the ball, the ball immediately starts accelerating at the rate of 22 Mi/Hr/Sec. This means it is constantly gaining speed until it hits the ground. The faster the ball goes, means the more space is in between the pictures of the balls. The intervals in between the time the pictures are taken are the same, but the ball is just covering more ground in the same time due to the fact that it is going at a faster rate of speed than before.
1. What's the difference about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteWhen the ball is being held by the demonstrator, it is not moving; therefore, it has no acceleration. Then, when the ball has dropped, it's acceleration speeds up until it hits the ground, at which point the ball has stopped accelerating.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
There is more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image because the ball speeds up as it drops; therefore, the ball goes farther between each interval.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteWhen the ball is dropped it keeps going faster because of the force of gravity. The ball's velocity becomes different because it increases as it gets closer to the ground or as it spends more time dropping. When the ball hits the ground it bounces back up a little bit as a result from the impact of hitting the ground from such a high speed.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
From the moment the demonstrator drops the ball, the ball starts increasing its speed. The gap that the ball makes from itself on the picture is increased on the first fall because gravity pushes it down more each second. The design of the shape of the ball affects how it falls but in general its speed was increased because of its round shape, the weight and the distance it was dropped from.
Though the ball moves in a consistent direction, its speed increases due to the pull of gravity. Therefore, the ball's velocity increases due to speed.
ReplyDeleteThere is more distance in intervals from when the ball was dropped to when it hits the ground because gravity is a consistent accelerator that continues to change the acceleration of the ball as it is drops.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteThe ball's velocity increased at each point. This is due to gravity as it caused the ball to accelerate towards the ground.Thus, if the ball's speed changed, then the velocity did as well.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
As gravity is a constant accelerator, gravity caused the ball to rebound quickly and powerfully, therefore bouncing twice a fast each time and more ground is covered.
1) The ball's velocity differs in every stage of the drop because the velocity increases due to gravity. At first the ball's velocity isn't as fast because it is barely beginning to fall, but once it is half way down one can see that the space between both shots is vastly greater. The last shots have more than one image because of a rebound effect with the ground.
ReplyDelete2)An increase in velocity due to gravity in every stage explains the space between shots in the images. As the ball falls it's velocity increases. Then once the ball hits the floor it rebounds causing negative acceleration because it bounces upward towards where it's drop originated from.
1. The higher the ball is, the greater the pull of gravity. At first gravity's acceleration is lower, so the ball falls down faster, when it is higher the gravity pull is at a lower acceleration.
ReplyDelete2. At first, the pull of gravity is lower so there is fewer distance between the images of the ball. Then, the images get wider apart explaining the greater pull of gravity as it approaches the ground.
1.) The velocity increases as time goes on. therefore, the ball on top is traveling slower than the one toward the bottom.
ReplyDelete2.)Because gravity helps to accelerate the ball. Thus, the ball is traveling faster and as time goes on the speed increases and a greater distance is created between the balls. (22 mph per second increase)
1. The ball is increasing in velocity as it moves closer to the ground because the gap between the two images is increasing.
ReplyDelete2. There is more distances between the two images because gravity is constantly accelerating and therefore the ball is increasing in speed
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteAcceleration is the change in velocity over time. Gravity is an accelerator. Eliminating factors such as air resistance, the ball should fall at a speed of acceleration at around 9.8 metres for every second that the ball falls. At each point in the photograph in which the ball is shown, the ball is falling at a different rate of speed--a faster rate of speed; furthermore, because the earth's gravity pulls toward the center, the ball's direction is toward the floor, since the center of earth is underneath the floor. In Conclusion, the ball's velocity is greater the lower that the ball appears in the image.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
There appears to be more distance between each point where the ball appears the lower that the point appears because the motion of the ball and the shutter speeds of the camera are not synchronized. The reason for their not being in sync is that the shutter of the camera takes a constant photograph every certain interval/fraction of a second, always being exact. Conversely, the ball is not falling at a constant speed, but rather at an accelerating rate of speed. Since the ball is falling at an accelerating rate of speed, and the camera is taking pictures at a regular interval, the lower that the ball appears in the image is representative of the higher rate of speed that the ball is falling at. Because the ball is falling at a higher rate of speed the second or third time that the shutter takes a photograph, then it travels space at a faster rate, therefore producing more empty space the second or third time that the shutter takes a photograph.
1.The ball's velocity differs at each point because it changes speed. Gravity is the strongest accelerator in the universe because of its constant acceleration. The ball's speed will change speed because of gravity pulling it towards the earth.
ReplyDelete2.There is more distance because of the acceleration and the camera didn't capture the motion accurately enough.
1. The ball's velocity increases the father down it drops because it increases speed. As the ball drops, the amount of air pressure and gravity on the object increases. The heightened pressure causes the ball to drop more rapidly.
ReplyDelete2. There is more distance between each point where the ball appears because the camera (taking multiple pictures) captures the photo in equal increments of time. However, since the ball is speeding up as it drops (increasing distance per second), the picture captures the image with more distance between each point where the ball appears.
1. The balls speed is constantly increasing every second. Gravity increases the balls speed and pulls it down since it is an accelerator.
ReplyDelete2. The distance increases between each place the ball appears in the picture since the ball is speeding up and an increase in speed results in an increase in distance.
1. As the ball approaches the ground it's velocity continuously increases due to the worldest fastest accelerator, aka, gravity
ReplyDelete2. The distance increas as the ball comes closer to the ground because the velocity increases due to gravites rapid a relation creating a greater speed allowing the ball to cover a greater distance in a shorter amount of time.
1. Velocity being the speed in a specific direction increases as the ball gets closer to the ground , because gravity, being the greatest accelerator, pulls it down with more force as it gets closer to the ground.
ReplyDelete2. The more distance between the points of the ball in the image is due to the gradual acceleration rate. As the ball leaves the hands the rate of acceleration quickly speeds up to a faster rate because of gravity.
1. In each image the space between the balls increase. As the ball gets closer and closer to the ground the more the velocity increases because of gravity.
ReplyDelete2. There is more distance between each point where the ball appears because gravity is a constant accelerator. Causing their to be a greater amount of distance between each point.
1. Velocity is a change in distance over a certain amount of time, however at each point in the image the ball's velocity is increasing. This means that gravity is a helping factor in the balls velocity which makes the ball increase its speed the closer it gets to the ground.
ReplyDelete2. There is more distance between each point where the ball appears because of gravity's constant pull towards the ground, and also gravity is the greatest and most constant accelerator in the world! This causes there to be more and greater distance between each point in the picture!
1. At each point in the image the balls velocity is increasing as time elaspes.
ReplyDelete2. The distance between the balls in the image is because of the change in velocity. As the velocity increases the space between the balls in the image increases.
1. What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteA- Velocity is defined as the speed of something in a given direction. Due to gravity the ball's velocity at each point is significantly different. This is because the longer the ball is in the air falling towards the ground the faster the ball accelerates. As a result the gap of the ball in the image increases the longer the ball is in the air.
2. Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
A- There is more distance between each point where the ball appears because of gravity. As the ball heads closer to the ground the faster it accelerates causing the gap to increase from the previous point.
Question 1: What's different about the ball's velocity in at each point where it appears in the image?
ReplyDeleteAnswer: At the point in which the demonstrator is holding the ball there is no movement making it have no acceleration. As soon as the demonstrator drops the ball the gravitational pull at 22mi/s accelerates the ball towards earth. The velocity of the ball changes due to the increase in speed but stays in the same direction throughout. The higher the demonstrator holds the ball the stronger the gravitational pull is ,therefore, at each position in the photograph the ball is falling at a different rate. he closer to the ground the ball is the greater the velocity is.
Question 2: Why is there more distance between each point where the ball appears in the image?
Answer: The reason that there is more distance between each space from ball to ball is because the gravitational pull has a constant accelerator towards the ball in which giving a constant rate of change. Since gravity is a constant accelerator, this causes the speed of the ball to double, starting at 22 m/s then to 44 m/s and so on.
Answer 1: The velocity of the ball increases as gravity pulls it toward the ground, at a constant rate, meaning the velocity is increasing, but the acceleration is not. This is a sign that velocity is related to acceleration in a linear function.
ReplyDeleteAnswer 2: The position of the ball changes within each frame of the picture to show an increased travelling distance over time. The ball (or teacher) appears to cluster toward the end, because of a bounce from the ball (or teacher's arms' counteracting the fall).
