2D Kinematics #2

2D kinematics is the study of motion on the x and y axis. Here I have a ball in motion about to bounce. 2D kinematics are in our every day lives, such as jumping. But how do we know where this ball is going to land, most of us can tell by experience and by estimating. To find our answer mathematically we would need to find the acceleration in the x and the y axis, we would also need to figure out how long this object is in the air. From that we are able to tell how far the object will bounce from the previous spot. We did an experiment similar to this in class by rolling a ball of a ramp onto the table and finally on to the ground. We predicted how far the ball would land from the table by using these a couple of equations.
