Pool Table work

Part 1

1.  Determine mu of your pool table surface.#

2.  Determine the elasticity of the bumper using p(b)=p(a)  using logger pro and the Video Capture option.#

3.  Make a drafting sketch of the pool table using autodesks, google sketchup, or a paper pencil model.  It must be to scale.#

4.  Practice making shots where the ball recoils at 90 degrees, where the ball recoils at 180 degrees,  > 90 degrees, and the ball recoils at < 90 degrees. #

Part 2:  

1.  Use a cell phone or flip camera to document your expertise in #4.  #

Part 3:

1.   Hand in a scaled model of your pool table that includes top and side views.  This may be done using graph paper, sketch-up, or a CAD program, but the final product must be digitized.

2.  Create a Logger Pro artifact for the two collisions that includes the dot diagrams on the video and your calculations from Monday.  The first one will use only the x-axis.   The second one will use the cue-ball going off at a right angle.  Send me a screen shot of these two videos after analysis
3.  Hand in the analysis for the 1-d  collision of the ball, showing me a) the momentum before the collision, b)the momentum after the collision, c) the net time the two objects  were in contact, and d) calculations of the change in momentum and the impulse Force.  This is most easily done using paper and pencil and then taking a picture of the finished project.  (Hint:  use the mass of the cue ball and the cue stick, or the mass of both of the balls)
4. A picture of your group and your pool table must be included.

Part 4:
Evaluate a pool table that is not your own from a different table cluster.
