Bouncing Ball
In this activity, students examine the motion of a ball as it falls under the influence of gravity. The parameters in the vertex form of the quadratic equation Y = A(X - H)2 + K are determined to describe the behavior of a ball bounce.https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/bouncing-ball
How High Will it Bounce?
Students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They also learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value of a parabola, analyze and find an exponential regression for the rebou...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/how-high-will-it-bounce
