Mini Drop Shoot Accessory Model No. ME-6827 Introduction PASCO's Drop Shoot Accessory is designed to demonstrate the independence of motion in the x and y directions for a projectile. The included bracket easily mounts on a Mini Launcher (ME-6825). Add a Photogate to the bracket to determine the muzzle velocity of the ball as it leaves the launcher. In addition, a Time of Flight Accessory can be used to measure the time of flight for the ball. Independence of X and Y Motion 4 1.
Model No. ME-6827 Mini Drop Shoot Accessory 5. Connect a photogate as shown to measure the initial speed of the fired ball (optional). Since the photogate beam passes through the center of the ball's path, the velocity of the ball is calculated by the following equation: velocity = diameter of ball "blocked time" 6. Place the Time of Flight Accessory directly below the Drop Shoot Bracket. 7. Hang a steel ball from the magnetic screw. 8.

Changing Launch Velocity 6 1. Repeat the above experiment, depressing the plunger of the launcher to the "second click" instead of the "first click." 2. Draw a force diagram for each ball as it flies through the air. 3. Ask students to predict the horizontal range and time of free fall for this new launch setting. 4.
