Put your $$$$ where your math is!

Can you hit the dollar?  Or are you EXTRA good and can hit the quarter, or are you AWESOME and can hit a dime?

Ramps, rulers, tape, books, photogates, labpros, computers, plumb-bobs, meter sticks, etc. are available - GOOD LUCK (or is it just good preparation?)

Logger Pro misbehaving?  OPEN LOGGER PRO, then go to FILE:  OPEN / PROBES&SENSORS / PHOTOGATES / PULSE_TIMER_2_GATES

 TENNIS BALL LAUNCH DATE IS NEXT WEEK MONDAY! (TUE for per.2&4) - This phet simulation might help you figure out the best launch angle for distance.... (and it's kind phun!)
