Randall D. Knight β Dynamics I: Motion Along a Line: Problem 43
The piston of a machine exerts a constant force on a ball as it moves horizontally through a distance of 15 cm. You use a motion detector to measure the speed of five different balls as they come off the piston; the data are shown in the table. Use theory to find two quantities that, when graphed, should give a straight line. Then use the graph to find the size of the piston's force. Mass (g) | Speed (m/s) --- | --- 200 | 9.4 400 | 6.3 600 | 5.2 800 | 4.9 1000 | 4.0
