01. In the experiment of Conservation of Energy using projectile launcher, the following
data was obtained by a group of students. Find the initial kinetic energy and the
final potential energy and determine the percent difference. Complete the table below.

TABLE 1. Determining the Initial Velocity, vo

Vertical Distance (y):__0.60___m

Average Horizontal Distance 1.75 m

Average Maximum Height 1.187 m

Calculated time of flight, t = ______s Initial velocity, vo = _____m/s

02. A linear grooved track was used by a group of BSCE students in performing a momentum
experiment. The students used two balls of masses 0.0648 kg (ball A) and 0.0423 kg
(ball B) and a height of fall y = 0.78 m. The distances covered by the balls before and
after
collision are shown below. Find the momentum of the balls before and after collision and
determine the percent difference.
