"Graphing Your Motion" Part 2
Today we continued with the "Graphing Your Motion" lab. Part B was mostly about velocity vs. time graphs. Again, we placed masking tape on the ground at every meter mark until we reached four meters away from the Vernier Motion Detector. Then, I stood at the one meter mark until my partners pressed the collect button. I then slowly walked backwards toward the four meter mark. The graph peaked and declined. The humps on the graph were big and spread apart. The next test was the same, only faster. The second graph had a different scale, and the humps were vey small and close together. By having this knowledge, I can assume what a graph would look like if I was walking very slow, or if I were running.
