Hi!
How would you do the calculations for the graph in part b?
Thanks~
Hey! Such a weird question, hey? It was from my paper, so I know it well
You just need to make sure that the horizontal displacement of Ball Q stays consistent (ie 3 blocks). Then, you know that acceleration due to gravity adds a consistent amount of velocity per second. It starts by 'moving down' 3 blocks, and then 9 blocks, which means each second ADDS 6 blocks worth of down. So, the next vertical position should be 9+6=15 blocks further down! Absolutely stupid question, but it does make you think about the actual physics behind projectile motion
You can also check the 'actual' maths on the BOSTES answer page,
