+<p begin="0:00:03.833" dur="0:00:03.700">Today, we're going<br />to take it quite easy.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:07.533" dur="0:00:03.233">I also have to take it<br />a little easy</p>
+<p begin="0:00:10.766" dur="0:00:05.200">because my voice may be petering<br />out, if I'm not careful.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:15.966" dur="0:00:03.700">We're going to apply today<br />what we have learned,</p>
+<p begin="0:00:19.666" dur="0:00:03.600">so there is nothing new<br />but its applications.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:23.266" dur="0:00:05.967">And that's important-- things<br />that... you can let it sink in.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:29.233" dur="0:00:02.167">We have here a trajectory</p>
+<p begin="0:00:31.400" dur="0:00:03.533">of a golf ball<br />or a tennis ball in 26.100.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:34.933" dur="0:00:02.800">We shoot it up<br />at an angle alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:37.733" dur="0:00:03.267">The horizontal component<br />in the x direction</p>
+<p begin="0:00:41.000" dur="0:00:01.733">is v zero cosine alpha</p>
+<p begin="0:00:42.733" dur="0:00:03.700">and the vertical component<br />is v zero sine alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:46.433" dur="0:00:02.967">It reaches<br />the highest point at P</p>
+<p begin="0:00:49.400" dur="0:00:03.666">and it returns to the ground<br />at point S.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:53.066" dur="0:00:03.000">This is<br />the increasing y direction</p>
+<p begin="0:00:56.066" dur="0:00:03.467">and this is<br />the increasing x direction.</p>
+<p begin="0:00:59.533" dur="0:00:03.000">We're going to use,<br />very heavily,</p>
+<p begin="0:01:02.533" dur="0:00:05.533">the equations that you see here<br />that are so familiar with us.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:08.066" dur="0:00:03.167">These are the one-dimensional<br />equations in x direction</p>
+<p begin="0:01:11.233" dur="0:00:01.800">where there is no acceleration</p>
+<p begin="0:01:13.033" dur="0:00:03.033">and the one-dimensional<br />equations in the y direction</p>
+<p begin="0:01:16.066" dur="0:00:01.700">where there is acceleration.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:17.766" dur="0:00:02.800">In order to use these equations</p>
+<p begin="0:01:20.566" dur="0:00:02.600">we need all these constants--</p>
+<p begin="0:01:23.166" dur="0:00:02.734">x zero, v zero x and v zero y.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:25.900" dur="0:00:02.166">We have seen those last time.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:28.066" dur="0:00:03.600">I choose for x zero...<br />I choose zero arbitrarily.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:31.666" dur="0:00:01.234">Also for y zero.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:32.900" dur="0:00:03.333">The velocity in the x direction<br />will never change.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:36.233" dur="0:00:03.567">This v zero x will always remain<br />v zero cosine alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:39.800" dur="0:00:03.933">The velocity in the y direction,<br />however, in the beginning</p>
+<p begin="0:01:43.733" dur="0:00:02.567">at t equals zero<br />is v zero sine alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:46.300" dur="0:00:03.700">And that one will change,<br />because there is here this t</p>
+<p begin="0:01:50.000" dur="0:00:03.200">and that's why the velocity<br />is going to change.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:53.200" dur="0:00:01.200">This t will do it.</p>
+<p begin="0:01:54.400" dur="0:00:03.066">And the acceleration<br />in the y direction--</p>
+<p begin="0:01:57.466" dur="0:00:03.534">since this is<br />increasing value of y--</p>
+<p begin="0:02:01.000" dur="0:00:02.733">is going to be negative 9.8.</p>
+<p begin="0:02:03.733" dur="0:00:03.000">Since I call always 9.8 plus...</p>
+<p begin="0:02:06.733" dur="0:00:04.767">since I always call g<br />"plus 9.8," this is minus g.</p>
+<p begin="0:02:13.333" dur="0:00:01.733">I now want to ask first</p>
+<p begin="0:02:15.066" dur="0:00:03.867">the question that you may<br />never have seen answered:</p>
+<p begin="0:02:18.933" dur="0:00:02.000">what is the shape of this?</p>
+<p begin="0:02:20.933" dur="0:00:03.933">Well, we can go to<br />equation number three there</p>
+<p begin="0:02:24.866" dur="0:00:04.200">and we can write down<br />this equation number three:</p>
+<p begin="0:02:29.066" dur="0:00:07.800">That y, as a function of time,<br />equals v zero yt</p>
+<p begin="0:02:36.866" dur="0:00:05.600">so it is v zero sine alpha<br />times t</p>
+<p begin="0:02:42.466" dur="0:00:04.434">minus one-half gt squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:02:46.900" dur="0:00:02.133">That's the equation in y.</p>
+<p begin="0:02:49.033" dur="0:00:02.367">I go to equation number one</p>
+<p begin="0:02:51.400" dur="0:00:05.000">and I write down x--<br />at any moment in time--</p>
+<p begin="0:02:56.400" dur="0:00:02.700">equals v zero z times t</p>
+<p begin="0:02:59.100" dur="0:00:04.966">so that is<br />v zero cosine alpha times t.</p>
+<p begin="0:03:04.066" dur="0:00:02.334">Now I eliminate t,</p>
+<p begin="0:03:06.400" dur="0:00:05.800">and the best way to do that<br />is to do it here--</p>
+<p begin="0:03:12.200" dur="0:00:06.233">to write for t, x divided<br />by v zero cosine alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:03:18.433" dur="0:00:02.900">Now I can drop<br />all subindexes t</p>
+<p begin="0:03:21.333" dur="0:00:03.833">because we're now going<br />to see x versus y.</p>
+<p begin="0:03:25.166" dur="0:00:02.567">We're going to eliminate t.</p>
+<p begin="0:03:27.733" dur="0:00:06.667">So this time here, I'm going to<br />substitute in here and in there</p>
+<p begin="0:03:34.400" dur="0:00:03.666">and so I'm going<br />to get y equals...</p>
+<p begin="0:03:38.066" dur="0:00:01.600">There's a v zero here</p>
+<p begin="0:03:39.666" dur="0:00:02.967">and there's a v zero there<br />that cancels.</p>
+<p begin="0:03:42.633" dur="0:00:03.733">There's a sine alpha here<br />and a cosine alpha there</p>
+<p begin="0:03:46.366" dur="0:00:02.467">that makes it a tangent<br />of alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:03:48.833" dur="0:00:04.033">And then I have here the x</p>
+<p begin="0:03:52.866" dur="0:00:07.200">and I get minus one-half g<br />times this squared--</p>
+<p begin="0:04:00.066" dur="0:00:07.467">x squared divided by v zero<br />cosine alpha squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:07.533" dur="0:00:04.533">And now look very carefully.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:12.066" dur="0:00:03.734">Y is a constant times x</p>
+<p begin="0:04:15.800" dur="0:00:06.166">minus another constant<br />times x squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:21.966" dur="0:00:01.900">That is a parabola.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:23.866" dur="0:00:05.100">It's a second-order equation<br />in x, and is a parabola</p>
+<p begin="0:04:28.966" dur="0:00:03.000">and a parabola has this shape.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:31.966" dur="0:00:04.100">So you so see now,<br />by eliminating the time</p>
+<p begin="0:04:36.066" dur="0:00:02.900">that we have here a parabola.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:38.966" dur="0:00:04.400">Now I want to massage<br />this quite a bit further today.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:43.366" dur="0:00:01.700">I would like to know</p>
+<p begin="0:04:45.066" dur="0:00:03.534">at what time the object here</p>
+<p begin="0:04:48.600" dur="0:00:04.566">comes to a halt<br />to its highest point.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:53.166" dur="0:00:02.267">It comes to a halt<br />in the y direction.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:55.433" dur="0:00:01.667">It comes to a highest point</p>
+<p begin="0:04:57.100" dur="0:00:02.200">and I want to know<br />how high that is.</p>
+<p begin="0:04:59.300" dur="0:00:04.900">Well, the best way to do<br />is to go to equation four</p>
+<p begin="0:05:04.200" dur="0:00:02.966">and you say, to equation four,</p>
+<p begin="0:05:07.166" dur="0:00:02.000">"When are you zero?"</p>
+<p begin="0:05:09.166" dur="0:00:01.534">Because that is the moment</p>
+<p begin="0:05:10.700" dur="0:00:01.033">that the velocity</p>
+<p begin="0:05:11.733" dur="0:00:01.933">in the y direction becomes zero.</p>
+<p begin="0:05:13.666" dur="0:00:03.434">It must be<br />at its highest point, then.</p>
+<p begin="0:05:17.100" dur="0:00:02.600">So in order to find, for us,</p>
+<p begin="0:05:19.700" dur="0:00:03.200">the position<br />of the highest point P</p>
+<p begin="0:05:22.900" dur="0:00:03.233">we first ask ourselves</p>
+<p begin="0:05:26.133" dur="0:00:06.833">the question<br />from equation number four:</p>
+<p begin="0:05:32.966" dur="0:00:04.267">when is the velocity<br />in the y direction zero?</p>
+<p begin="0:05:37.233" dur="0:00:04.500">And that then becomes<br />v zero y</p>
+<p begin="0:05:41.733" dur="0:00:05.333">which is v zero sine alpha<br />minus gt</p>
+<p begin="0:05:47.066" dur="0:00:04.700">and out pops that t at point P</p>
+<p begin="0:05:51.766" dur="0:00:04.367">is going to be v zero sine alpha<br />divided by g.</p>
+<p begin="0:05:56.133" dur="0:00:02.833">That's the time that it takes</p>
+<p begin="0:05:58.966" dur="0:00:04.067">for the object<br />to reach the highest point.</p>
+<p begin="0:06:03.033" dur="0:00:01.800">Where is it, then?</p>
+<p begin="0:06:04.833" dur="0:00:02.867">What is the highest point<br />above the ground?</p>
+<p begin="0:06:07.700" dur="0:00:03.233">Well, now we have to go<br />to equation number three</p>
+<p begin="0:06:10.933" dur="0:00:05.967">and you have to substitute<br />this time in there</p>
+<p begin="0:06:16.900" dur="0:00:03.233">so that highest point h,</p>
+<p begin="0:06:20.133" dur="0:00:06.400">which is y at the time t of P<br />equals v zero yt--</p>
+<p begin="0:06:26.533" dur="0:00:03.700">that is v zero<br />times the sine of alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:06:30.233" dur="0:00:03.800">But you have to multiply<br />it by this time</p>
+<p begin="0:06:34.033" dur="0:00:03.633">and so I get<br />another v zero sine alpha</p>
+<p begin="0:06:37.666" dur="0:00:08.067">and I get a g here<br />minus gt mi...</p>
+<p begin="0:06:45.733" dur="0:00:03.333">oh, no, no, this equa...<br />minus half dt squared</p>
+<p begin="0:06:49.066" dur="0:00:05.734">minus one-half g<br />times this one squared</p>
+<p begin="0:06:54.800" dur="0:00:05.133">which is v zero<br />sine alpha squared,</p>
+<p begin="0:06:59.933" dur="0:00:05.533">divided by g...<br />divided by g squared</p>
+<p begin="0:07:05.466" dur="0:00:02.000">because there is a g here,<br />you see?</p>
+<p begin="0:07:07.466" dur="0:00:02.767">So you square the whole thing<br />if it's t squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:07:10.233" dur="0:00:01.133">You lose one g</p>
+<p begin="0:07:11.366" dur="0:00:03.934">and you will find, then,<br />that the highest point--</p>
+<p begin="0:07:15.300" dur="0:00:05.266">let's write it down here so that<br />we don't block that blackboard--</p>
+<p begin="0:07:20.566" dur="0:00:04.867">the highest point in the sky</p>
+<p begin="0:07:25.433" dur="0:00:08.067">equals v zero sine alpha squared<br />divided by 2g.</p>
+<p begin="0:07:37.600" dur="0:00:02.333">That is the highest point.</p>
+<p begin="0:07:39.933" dur="0:00:02.367">Let's give that some color</p>
+<p begin="0:07:42.300" dur="0:00:02.933">because we may want<br />to keep that.</p>
+<p begin="0:07:47.466" dur="0:00:04.267">Is it reasonable that the point,<br />the highest point in the sky</p>
+<p begin="0:07:51.733" dur="0:00:02.367">gets higher when v zero<br />is higher?</p>
+<p begin="0:07:54.100" dur="0:00:01.100">Of course.</p>
+<p begin="0:07:55.200" dur="0:00:02.400">If I shoot it up<br />at a higher speed</p>
+<p begin="0:07:57.600" dur="0:00:02.233">of course it will get higher.</p>
+<p begin="0:07:59.833" dur="0:00:04.667">So that's completely intuitive<br />that v zero is upstairs.</p>
+<p begin="0:08:04.500" dur="0:00:03.500">If I increase the angle<br />from a small angle</p>
+<p begin="0:08:08.000" dur="0:00:02.666">to larger and larger and larger</p>
+<p begin="0:08:10.666" dur="0:00:02.600">is it reasonable<br />that it will get higher?</p>
+<p begin="0:08:13.266" dur="0:00:01.167">Of course.</p>
+<p begin="0:08:14.433" dur="0:00:01.767">You all feel in your stomach</p>
+<p begin="0:08:16.200" dur="0:00:03.000">that the highest possible value<br />you can get</p>
+<p begin="0:08:19.200" dur="0:00:03.533">is when you make alpha<br />90 degrees for a given velocity.</p>
+<p begin="0:08:22.733" dur="0:00:02.633">That's the highest it will go<br />in the sky.</p>
+<p begin="0:08:25.366" dur="0:00:02.700">So clearly, this is<br />also very pleasing.</p>
+<p begin="0:08:28.066" dur="0:00:02.567">If you did the experiment<br />on the moon</p>
+<p begin="0:08:30.633" dur="0:00:03.567">with the same initial speed,<br />it will go much higher</p>
+<p begin="0:08:34.200" dur="0:00:04.233">so you are also happy to see<br />that this g here is downstairs.</p>
+<p begin="0:08:38.433" dur="0:00:04.167">So that makes sense.</p>
+<p begin="0:08:42.600" dur="0:00:06.733">At what time will the object<br />be at point S?</p>
+<p begin="0:08:49.333" dur="0:00:02.900">Now, there are two ways<br />that you can do that.</p>
+<p begin="0:08:52.233" dur="0:00:02.867">You either go to this equation,<br />number three</p>
+<p begin="0:08:55.100" dur="0:00:03.600">and you ask equation number<br />three, "When are you zero?"</p>
+<p begin="0:08:58.700" dur="0:00:02.133">It will give you two answers.</p>
+<p begin="0:09:00.833" dur="0:00:02.900">It will say, "I am zero here<br />at this time"</p>
+<p begin="0:09:03.733" dur="0:00:02.100">and "I am zero at that time."</p>
+<p begin="0:09:05.833" dur="0:00:02.233">And those are the two times<br />that you want</p>
+<p begin="0:09:08.066" dur="0:00:01.634">and this is the one you pick.</p>
+<p begin="0:09:09.700" dur="0:00:01.233">That's perfectly fine.</p>
+<p begin="0:09:10.933" dur="0:00:03.533">I think there's a faster way to<br />do it, and that's the following.</p>
+<p begin="0:09:14.466" dur="0:00:01.267">This is a parabola,</p>
+<p begin="0:09:15.733" dur="0:00:03.767">so it's completely symmetric<br />about the vertical, about P.</p>
+<p begin="0:09:19.500" dur="0:00:03.966">So to climb up from O to P must<br />take the same amount of time</p>
+<p begin="0:09:23.466" dur="0:00:01.700">as to go down from P to S</p>
+<p begin="0:09:25.166" dur="0:00:04.067">and so I claim<br />that the time to reach point S</p>
+<p begin="0:09:29.233" dur="0:00:03.567">must be twice the time<br />to reach point P</p>
+<p begin="0:09:32.800" dur="0:00:04.566">and therefore it's going to be</p>
+<p begin="0:09:37.366" dur="0:00:06.667">two v zero sine alpha<br />divided by g.</p>
+<p begin="0:09:44.033" dur="0:00:02.500">But now we want to look again</p>
+<p begin="0:09:46.533" dur="0:00:05.200">whether the v zeros and the sine<br />alphas have the right place.</p>
+<p begin="0:09:51.733" dur="0:00:03.133">Indeed, if I increase the speed,</p>
+<p begin="0:09:54.866" dur="0:00:05.167">I would expect it to take longer<br />before it reaches S.</p>
+<p begin="0:10:00.033" dur="0:00:04.167">If I give it a larger speed,<br />it will come out farther</p>
+<p begin="0:10:04.200" dur="0:00:03.200">and obviously,<br />the time will take longer.</p>
+<p begin="0:10:07.400" dur="0:00:04.233">If I do it at a higher angle,<br />it will also take longer</p>
+<p begin="0:10:11.633" dur="0:00:04.200">and if I do it on the moon,<br />it will also take longer.</p>
+<p begin="0:10:15.833" dur="0:00:01.933">So this makes sense--</p>
+<p begin="0:10:17.766" dur="0:00:04.434">these equations are pleasing<br />in terms of the rate</p>
+<p begin="0:10:22.200" dur="0:00:04.633">that v zero and sine alpha<br />appear in the equations.</p>
+<p begin="0:10:26.833" dur="0:00:02.267">But now comes<br />an important point</p>
+<p begin="0:10:29.100" dur="0:00:03.466">which I am going to use<br />throughout this lecture.</p>
+<p begin="0:10:32.566" dur="0:00:01.934">I want to know what OS is.</p>
+<p begin="0:10:34.500" dur="0:00:04.766">The distance OS... I shoot it up<br />and it hits the floor again</p>
+<p begin="0:10:39.266" dur="0:00:03.000">What is that distance<br />that it travels?</p>
+<p begin="0:10:42.266" dur="0:00:05.767">Well, for that,<br />I need equation number one.</p>
+<p begin="0:10:48.033" dur="0:00:04.000">It is v zero x times the time</p>
+<p begin="0:10:52.033" dur="0:00:04.833">and v zero x<br />is v zero cosine alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:10:56.866" dur="0:00:05.900">We got v zero cosine alpha<br />times the time to hit it--</p>
+<p begin="0:11:02.766" dur="0:00:03.400">that is two v zero sine alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:11:06.166" dur="0:00:06.534">So I get a two here, I get a<br />sine alpha, and I get a g here</p>
+<p begin="0:11:12.700" dur="0:00:07.766">and I have another v zero there,<br />and so the answer is</p>
+<p begin="0:11:20.466" dur="0:00:04.934">a v zero squared times<br />the sine of the double angle--</p>
+<p begin="0:11:25.400" dur="0:00:03.433">remember, two cosine<br />alpha sine alpha</p>
+<p begin="0:11:28.833" dur="0:00:03.733">is the sine of two alpha--<br />divided by g.</p>
+<p begin="0:11:32.566" dur="0:00:05.700">And this is OS, and I'm going<br />to need this a lot.</p>
+<p begin="0:11:38.266" dur="0:00:05.534">This reminds me<br />not to remove it.</p>
+<p begin="0:11:43.800" dur="0:00:04.333">Now, I sort of wonder,<br />and you should too</p>
+<p begin="0:11:48.133" dur="0:00:06.700">why is it that the highest point<br />in the sky has a v zero squared</p>
+<p begin="0:11:54.833" dur="0:00:02.267">and why is<br />the farthest point also...</p>
+<p begin="0:11:57.100" dur="0:00:02.400">why does it also have<br />a v zero squared?</p>
+<p begin="0:11:59.500" dur="0:00:03.433">There must be a way<br />that you can reason that.</p>
+<p begin="0:12:02.933" dur="0:00:02.033">Why is it not just v zero?</p>
+<p begin="0:12:04.966" dur="0:00:01.867">Why is it v zero squared?</p>
+<p begin="0:12:06.833" dur="0:00:03.733">Well, I'll let you argue<br />about the highest points,</p>
+<p begin="0:12:10.566" dur="0:00:03.934">and I'll give you a good reason<br />for the distance, OS.</p>
+<p begin="0:12:14.500" dur="0:00:02.133">Don't look at the equations.</p>
+<p begin="0:12:16.633" dur="0:00:04.333">You simply...</p>
+<p begin="0:12:20.966" dur="0:00:02.034">Think for a change.</p>
+<p begin="0:12:23.000" dur="0:00:03.033">Don't look at the equations.</p>
+<p begin="0:12:26.033" dur="0:00:02.067">I double the speed.</p>
+<p begin="0:12:28.100" dur="0:00:05.300">If I double the speed,<br />then it's quite reasonable</p>
+<p begin="0:12:33.400" dur="0:00:02.966">that the time that it takes</p>
+<p begin="0:12:36.366" dur="0:00:05.100">for the object to reach<br />the ground will double,</p>
+<p begin="0:12:41.466" dur="0:00:06.767">but while the time<br />that it flies has doubled</p>
+<p begin="0:12:48.233" dur="0:00:03.000">the horizontal velocity<br />has also doubled.</p>
+<p begin="0:12:51.233" dur="0:00:04.800">And so the distance that it will<br />travel in horizontal direction</p>
+<p begin="0:12:56.033" dur="0:00:04.167">is four times that-- twice<br />because the time has doubled</p>
+<p begin="0:13:00.200" dur="0:00:01.800">and another factor of two</p>
+<p begin="0:13:02.000" dur="0:00:03.600">because the horizontal component<br />has also doubled.</p>
+<p begin="0:13:05.600" dur="0:00:03.933">So that's why you see<br />v zero squared there--</p>
+<p begin="0:13:09.533" dur="0:00:01.867">completely pleasing.</p>
+<p begin="0:13:11.400" dur="0:00:02.733">This tells you immediately<br />that the...</p>
+<p begin="0:13:14.133" dur="0:00:03.500">if you want to throw a ball<br />as far as possible--</p>
+<p begin="0:13:17.633" dur="0:00:02.600">people who play baseball<br />know that--</p>
+<p begin="0:13:20.233" dur="0:00:02.333">you should do it at 45 degrees.</p>
+<p begin="0:13:22.566" dur="0:00:02.967">Because if you throw it<br />at 45 degrees</p>
+<p begin="0:13:25.533" dur="0:00:03.667">then this angle, 90 degrees,<br />and that is one.</p>
+<p begin="0:13:29.200" dur="0:00:01.833">Of course, in reality,</p>
+<p begin="0:13:31.033" dur="0:00:02.633">the baseball player<br />knows better.</p>
+<p begin="0:13:33.666" dur="0:00:04.334">They give effect to the ball,<br />they deal with air drag</p>
+<p begin="0:13:38.000" dur="0:00:04.833">they spin the ball, and then<br />these equations are not valid.</p>
+<p begin="0:13:42.833" dur="0:00:03.533">This is only in case we deal<br />with... with vacuum.</p>
+<p begin="0:13:49.033" dur="0:00:02.000">I now would like to test</p>
+<p begin="0:13:51.033" dur="0:00:03.233">some of the results<br />that we have here...</p>
+<p begin="0:13:54.266" dur="0:00:02.034">we have worked out here.</p>
+<p begin="0:13:56.300" dur="0:00:07.000">I am going to shoot a pellet...<br />a metal ball.</p>
+<p begin="0:14:03.300" dur="0:00:02.566">I'm going to shoot it<br />at various angles:</p>
+<p begin="0:14:05.866" dur="0:00:02.167">30 degrees, 60 degrees,<br />45 degrees</p>
+<p begin="0:14:08.033" dur="0:00:02.200">and I'm going to make<br />a prediction</p>
+<p begin="0:14:10.233" dur="0:00:03.700">if I shoot it up from there,<br />where it will hit the table.</p>
+<p begin="0:14:13.933" dur="0:00:05.800">A measurement is meaningless</p>
+<p begin="0:14:19.733" dur="0:00:03.233">without knowing<br />the uncertainties.</p>
+<p begin="0:14:22.966" dur="0:00:04.534">So that's the first thing<br />we have to deal with.</p>
+<p begin="0:14:27.500" dur="0:00:02.066">The first thing I want to know</p>
+<p begin="0:14:29.566" dur="0:00:02.567">is what is the velocity<br />of this bullet</p>
+<p begin="0:14:32.133" dur="0:00:02.133">when it comes out of the spring</p>
+<p begin="0:14:34.266" dur="0:00:04.100">and does it vary if I do it<br />three, five, six times in a row?</p>
+<p begin="0:14:38.366" dur="0:00:05.267">It's not a $20,000 spring gun,<br />so it is likely to vary.</p>
+<p begin="0:14:43.633" dur="0:00:04.633">And the way I am going to do<br />that is as follows.</p>
+<p begin="0:14:50.166" dur="0:00:03.500">If I shoot an object<br />vertically up--</p>
+<p begin="0:14:53.666" dur="0:00:04.267">that is, the maximum value<br />that it can go--</p>
+<p begin="0:14:57.933" dur="0:00:03.467">and with an alpha<br />equals 90 degrees</p>
+<p begin="0:15:01.400" dur="0:00:02.933">then the sine of alpha is one</p>
+<p begin="0:15:04.333" dur="0:00:04.967">and the height is v zero squared<br />divided by two g.</p>
+<p begin="0:15:11.566" dur="0:00:03.500">In other words,<br />if I measure the height</p>
+<p begin="0:15:15.066" dur="0:00:02.534">if I shoot it up vertically</p>
+<p begin="0:15:17.600" dur="0:00:01.766">and you can measure<br />that for me--</p>
+<p begin="0:15:19.366" dur="0:00:02.467">you will see how I am asking<br />you to do that--</p>
+<p begin="0:15:21.833" dur="0:00:02.033">then we can calculate<br />v zero squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:15:23.866" dur="0:00:06.534">So the first thing I want to do<br />is to shoot it up vertically</p>
+<p begin="0:15:30.400" dur="0:00:03.400">and how are you going<br />to help me to calculate...</p>
+<p begin="0:15:33.800" dur="0:00:01.900">to tell me how high it is?</p>
+<p begin="0:15:35.700" dur="0:00:04.066">That comes easier<br />than you think.</p>
+<p begin="0:15:39.766" dur="0:00:04.767">The top part...<br />oh, we'll remove this.</p>
+<p begin="0:15:44.533" dur="0:00:09.400">The top part of this stick<br />is three meters, the top mark.</p>
+<p begin="0:15:53.933" dur="0:00:02.233">That very top mark<br />is three meters</p>
+<p begin="0:15:56.166" dur="0:00:02.000">and all I want you to tell me</p>
+<p begin="0:15:58.166" dur="0:00:03.167">whether it is yay much above<br />or yay much below</p>
+<p begin="0:16:01.333" dur="0:00:02.467">and then we'll estimate<br />that yay much</p>
+<p begin="0:16:03.800" dur="0:00:01.900">and then we'll make a guess.</p>

+<p begin="0:19:03.200" dur="0:00:01.800">all I need is v zero squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:05.000" dur="0:00:02.500">And if you at home<br />are going to calculate</p>
+<p begin="0:19:07.500" dur="0:00:02.766">what the height will be<br />at the various angles</p>
+<p begin="0:19:10.266" dur="0:00:02.034">all you need is v zero squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:12.300" dur="0:00:02.466">So I am not even interested<br />in v zero.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:14.766" dur="0:00:01.867">I'll just stick<br />to v zero squared</p>
+<p begin="0:19:16.633" dur="0:00:03.333">and v zero squared will have<br />exactly the same uncertainty.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:19.966" dur="0:00:02.434">It will have an uncertainty<br />of five percent</p>
+<p begin="0:19:22.400" dur="0:00:02.066">because it comes immediately<br />from h.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:24.466" dur="0:00:01.834">We are not going to change that.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:28.566" dur="0:00:04.700">Okay, so, so much for the<br />uncertainty in v zero squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:33.266" dur="0:00:03.700">Now I'm going to set<br />the angle at 45 degrees</p>
+<p begin="0:19:36.966" dur="0:00:03.134">but how accurately<br />can I do that?</p>
+<p begin="0:19:40.100" dur="0:00:05.366">I don't think I can do that<br />any better than one degree.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:45.466" dur="0:00:02.067">I'll try to do the best I can.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:47.533" dur="0:00:04.167">I can't really guarantee you<br />that I'm accurate to one degree.</p>
+<p begin="0:19:51.700" dur="0:00:03.100">So now comes the question</p>
+<p begin="0:19:54.800" dur="0:00:04.700">what happens with<br />the sine of two alpha</p>
+<p begin="0:19:59.500" dur="0:00:04.100">because we're going<br />to measure OS?</p>
+<p begin="0:20:03.600" dur="0:00:04.833">What happens with<br />the sine of two alpha?</p>
+<p begin="0:20:08.433" dur="0:00:04.000">The sine of 90 degrees<br />is 1.0000.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:12.433" dur="0:00:03.367">But what would be<br />the sine of 88 degrees?</p>
+<p begin="0:20:15.800" dur="0:00:03.300">That is the value<br />that I cannot exclude</p>
+<p begin="0:20:19.100" dur="0:00:02.133">if I'm off by one degree.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:21.233" dur="0:00:04.567">And that value is 0.9994.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:25.800" dur="0:00:04.200">That is so close to one</p>
+<p begin="0:20:30.000" dur="0:00:07.866">that it is only off<br />by 0.6%... 0.06 percent.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:37.866" dur="0:00:05.367">And that is so low, compared<br />to five percent, forget it.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:43.233" dur="0:00:01.733">Forget the error in alpha.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:44.966" dur="0:00:01.867">We can completely forget it.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:46.833" dur="0:00:02.367">There's a reason for that.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:49.200" dur="0:00:04.666">When alpha is 45 degrees,<br />then 2 alpha is 90 degrees</p>
+<p begin="0:20:53.866" dur="0:00:04.334">and the sine curve goes<br />like this at 90 degrees.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:58.200" dur="0:00:01.333">It's almost flat here.</p>
+<p begin="0:20:59.533" dur="0:00:02.767">So even if you're off<br />an angle by a little bit</p>
+<p begin="0:21:02.300" dur="0:00:03.033">you're still very close to one--<br />that's the reason.</p>
+<p begin="0:21:05.333" dur="0:00:01.767">So all we have to worry about</p>
+<p begin="0:21:07.100" dur="0:00:02.200">is the uncertainty<br />in v zero squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:21:09.300" dur="0:00:02.800">And so now comes<br />my big prediction.</p>
+<p begin="0:21:12.100" dur="0:00:02.800">I'm going to make<br />a prediction now:</p>
+<p begin="0:21:14.900" dur="0:00:08.000">for 45 degrees,<br />OS equals v zero squared.</p>
+<p begin="0:21:28.400" dur="0:00:01.533">We have that.</p>
+<p begin="0:21:29.933" dur="0:00:01.567">That is 60.2.</p>
+<p begin="0:21:31.500" dur="0:00:04.666">And we have the sine<br />of two alpha is one</p>
+<p begin="0:21:36.166" dur="0:00:02.534">and we divide by 9.8.</p>
+<p begin="0:21:38.700" dur="0:00:07.433">That is 6.14 meters</p>
+<p begin="0:21:46.133" dur="0:00:02.567">with an uncertainty<br />of five percent, right?</p>
+<p begin="0:21:48.700" dur="0:00:02.933">Because that is the uncertainty<br />in v zero squared</p>
+<p begin="0:21:51.633" dur="0:00:01.833">and so there is an uncertainty</p>
+<p begin="0:21:53.466" dur="0:00:02.567">of 30 centimeters,<br />actually 31 centimeters.</p>
+<p begin="0:21:56.033" dur="0:00:09.033">This is my prediction<br />for an angle of 45 degrees.</p>
+<p begin="0:22:05.066" dur="0:00:04.300">This will only hold<br />if there is no air drag</p>
+<p begin="0:22:09.366" dur="0:00:03.300">or if the air drag<br />is negligible,</p>
+<p begin="0:22:12.666" dur="0:00:03.434">and of course,<br />equally important,</p>
+<p begin="0:22:16.100" dur="0:00:03.433">that that spring gun--<br />when the ball comes out--</p>
+<p begin="0:22:19.533" dur="0:00:03.733">that the velocity squared<br />is indeed within the range</p>
+<p begin="0:22:23.266" dur="0:00:01.467">that we have assumed</p>
+<p begin="0:22:24.733" dur="0:00:04.000">and that it doesn't have<br />bad days and good days.</p>
+<p begin="0:22:28.733" dur="0:00:03.333">There's no way<br />I can check that anymore.</p>
+<p begin="0:22:32.066" dur="0:00:04.634">All right, so we're going<br />to mark the .614.</p>
+<p begin="0:22:36.700" dur="0:00:06.066">This is one meter, two meters,<br />three meters, four meters</p>
+<p begin="0:22:42.766" dur="0:00:03.334">five meters, six meters, 6.14.</p>
+<p begin="0:22:46.100" dur="0:00:03.433">One four... 14 centimeters.</p>
+<p begin="0:22:49.533" dur="0:00:03.933">Boy, God, it's<br />all the way here.</p>
+<p begin="0:22:53.466" dur="0:00:06.600">And then I allow for an error<br />of about 30 centimeters.</p>
+<p begin="0:23:00.066" dur="0:00:01.667">Did I do that right?</p>
+<p begin="0:23:01.733" dur="0:00:04.900">That is correct, 45 degrees<br />with 30 centimeter uncertainty.</p>
+<p begin="0:23:06.633" dur="0:00:03.833">That is all the way up to here.</p>
+<p begin="0:23:10.466" dur="0:00:05.600">And then the next one,<br />roughly 30 centimeters.</p>
+<p begin="0:23:16.066" dur="0:00:05.700">So that's where, if our<br />calculations make sense</p>
+<p begin="0:23:21.766" dur="0:00:04.000">that's where<br />the ball should hit.</p>

+<p begin="0:28:11.233" dur="0:00:08.733">So I have to go through v zero<br />squared-- I have that, 60.2</p>
+<p begin="0:28:19.966" dur="0:00:03.134">and then I have to multiply<br />by the sine of two alpha</p>

+<p begin="0:28:29.466" dur="0:00:05.367">and then I think<br />I have to divide by g.</p>
+<p begin="0:28:34.833" dur="0:00:07.133">That is right, 9.8,<br />and I find 5.31, plus or minus.</p>
+<p begin="0:28:41.966" dur="0:00:04.167">Now, two percent error<br />in the sine of two alpha</p>
+<p begin="0:28:46.133" dur="0:00:03.200">five percent error<br />in v zero squared</p>
+<p begin="0:28:49.333" dur="0:00:05.033">that gives me-- I can't<br />help it-- a seven percent error.</p>
+<p begin="0:28:54.366" dur="0:00:05.434">So I have a seven percent<br />uncertainty, multiply by .07</p>
