Minecraft Science: Minecart Kinematics

Wyboth:
I have done a mini experiment. I have determined the speed at which a player can throw an enderpearl. To do this, I dug a 2 block deep hole, placed a stone slab at the bottom, and crouched, to get my eye height as close to ground level as possible. Next, I threw the enderpearl straight into the air. I did frame analysis, and discovered that it took 2.2 seconds to reach peak height. I then used this equation:

vf = vo + a * t

Substituting the known values, I got:

0 = vo + -14.4622 * 2.2

0 = vo - 31.81684

vo = 31.81684 m/s

This means that a player throws an enderpearl at a speed of 31.81684 m/s.

The series has gained enough attention to earn itself an icon. Here it is:



I added it to all of the articles. I'll make the Redstone article soon.
