Texas Instruments: Collecting Ball Bounce Data

Curated by ACT

Many aspects relating to the motion of a bouncing ball can be modelled mathematically. The first stage in modelling the motion is to collect some data. The Calculator Base Laboratory or CBR is a motion detector that can be connected to a TI-83(plus) calculator. The position, velocity and acceleration at any time are recorded in the calculator's Stat. List editor.
