Physics Challenge: Calculating Minimum Ball Speed of Babe Ruth's Homer
Calculate the minimum speed at which Babe Ruth hit a home run over a 7.5m high fence 95m from home plate. Assume the ball was hit 1.0m above the ground and made a 38-degree angle with the ground. Get ready for a Unit 2 test on Thursday, focusing on projectile motion. Complete pending assignments and prepare for effective communication with IB through detailed lab reports.

Physics 1 Oct 4, 2019 P3 Challenge When Babe Ruth hit a homer over the 7.5 m high right-field fence 95 m from home plate, roughly what was the minimum speed of the ball when it left the bat? Assume the ball was hit 1.0 m above the ground and its path initially made a 38 angle with the ground.
Objectives, Agenda, Assignment IB 2.1 Motion (in 2D) Agenda (options) Homework review on white boards with groups (Focus group to review projectile motion.) Work on Review worksheet. Unit 2 Test on Thursday 10/10. Work on Data process for the Incline Lab. Pending Assignments: Study for Test and Write up the Incline Lab with the Report Format
Test Description 12 x 2 pts Multiple choice 10 x 2pts True false about projectile motion 1 x 6 pts Add vectors graphically 1 x 6 pts Add vectors analytically 1 x 8 pts Vector algebra 1 x 12 pts Horizontal launch problem 1 x 10 pts Range problem 1 x 14 pts General projectile motion problem
General Lab Format 1. Title 6. Materials 2. Background/Introduction 7. Procedures 3. Purpose/Question 8. Results (Data Collection and Processing) 4. Experimental Design 9. Conclusions 5. Hypothesis 10. Evaluation For effective communication with IB, your reports should include each of these sections. Use the identification header indicated. I would like you to use two dates: the date the experiment was done, and the date the report was written/submitted. Reports are due one week after the experiment is physically completed. Reports submitted after 1 week will be late.
Exit Slip - Assignment Exit Slip Clean up white boards and put away. What s Due? (Pending assignments to complete.) Study for the Test Thursday 10/10 Write your lab report. What s Next? (How to prepare for the next day) Review.
