ASSUME NO AIR RESISTANCE! THROW THE BALL STRAIGHT UP! *SHOW all Work. Equations needed for this lab: a Potential energy: PE= ugh Kinetic energy: KE=_Yo mv. Projectile Formula for distance: d= % g (tap)? Projectile Formula for velocity: Yo = gtap Directions and Data: 1. Find the mass of the temis ball mass = LD _O%kg 2. Find the total time in the air for the tennis ball as it is thrown straight up info the air: Total time = 2. Y [see Cakeubte ty =|. 4 sec 3.
