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
1. Mount the Mini Launcher to a tabletop with a C clamp or other
table clamp.
2. Using the attached plumb bob, set the launch angle to 0º.
3. Slide the Drop Shoot Bracket into the groove on the bottom of the
Projectile Launcher.
4. Tighten the thumbscrew on the bottom to secure the bracket.
