Lab 5
Purpose:
The purpose of this lab was to find the heights of different locations from where a rubber cork was dropped at different elevations.
Procedure:
Data:
Trial 1(Top of Stairs)
0.64 s
0.66 s
0.76 s
Average time=0.68
Calculations:
9.8(0.64)=6.272 m/s/s
9.8(0.66)=6.468 m/s/s
9.8(0.76)=7.448 m/s/s
Average final velocity: 6.729
𝚫x=½(0+6.729m/s)0.68
𝚫x=2.288 m

Lab 5
Purpose:
The purpose of this lab was to find the heights of different locations from where a rubber cork was dropped at different elevations.
Procedure:
- Set three locations for trial
- Drop rubber cork
- Record time three times for each trial
- Find average time and average velocity of each trial
- Use previously found data to find height at which the cork was dropped for each trial
Data:
Trial 1(Top of Stairs)
0.64 s
0.66 s
0.76 s
Average time=0.68
Calculations:
9.8(0.64)=6.272 m/s/s
9.8(0.66)=6.468 m/s/s
9.8(0.76)=7.448 m/s/s
Average final velocity: 6.729
𝚫x=½(0+6.729m/s)0.68
𝚫x=2.288 m
Trial 2(Lower Section of Stairs):
0.58 s
0.50 s
0.56 s
Average time=0.54 s
Calculations:
0.58(9.8)=5.684 m/s/s
0.50(9.8)=4.9 m/s/s
0.56(9.8)=5.488 m/s/s
Average final velocity: 5.357
𝚫x=½(0+5.357)0.54
𝚫x=1.446 m
0.58 s
0.50 s
0.56 s
Average time=0.54 s
Calculations:
0.58(9.8)=5.684 m/s/s
0.50(9.8)=4.9 m/s/s
0.56(9.8)=5.488 m/s/s
Average final velocity: 5.357
𝚫x=½(0+5.357)0.54
𝚫x=1.446 m
Trial 3(Senior Circle):
0.51
0.58
0.51
Average time=0.53
Calculations:
0.51(9.8)=4.998 m/s/s
0.58(9.8)=5.684 m/s/s
0.51(9.8)=4.998 m/s/s
Average final velocity: 5.227 m/s
𝚫x=½(0+5.227)0.53
𝚫x=1.385
Conclusion:
From the data that my partner and collected, I infer that we were successful in completing this lab because we were able to fulfil the purpose of this lab in an accurate and organized manner. We discovered the height at which each of our trials were conducted with the use of kinematic equations as well as the data collected (the times of each of our trials).
According to our results, we truly completed the goal of this lab. We recorded the time it took for the stopper to hit the floor, and used the constant acceleration. Using these things, we successfully calculated the height therefore accomplishing our goal.
