Lab Report 01

This document summarizes a lab experiment on creating motion graphs. The objectives were to explain the relationships between time, velocity, and acceleration by analyzing the motion of an object over time intervals of constant acceleration and deceleration. Experimental variables included position, speed, velocity, and acceleration. Equations were used to calculate average speed, velocity, and acceleration from experimental data. Results showed calculations for distance, velocity, and acceleration values at various time intervals. Analysis demonstrated the use of kinematics to relate position, velocity, and time. The conclusion discussed applying the relationships between these variables to three-dimensional motion.

1. Introduction

Objectives
The purpose of the experiment was to explain the relationship between time vs velocity
vs acceleration. Including the understanding of how fast or slow a person is moving and over the
course of time what caused the person to either accelerate or decelerate. Shows distance over
specific time intervals including times of constant acceleration and deceleration.

1.2 Theoretical background


Some concepts include understanding of kinematics. Kinematics is a branch of mechanics
that is concerned with the motion of objects. Ultimately, it explains the motion of real world
objects and broadens our understanding of the world.

2. Experimental Procedure
Experimental variables include ​position ​which is a vector
quantity, speed which is scalar, ​velocity ​which is a vector quantity and
acceleration ​which is a vector quantity. First step is to set up the
computer and plug it into an outlet where a green indicator should
light up. Next, to mount the motion sensor and place it at the edge of
the table. Then, position the motion sensor window aiming it at the
front of the sensor. Finally, you should be able to see the motion that was represented on the
screen.

4. Analysis and Discussion


● Kinematics were used to calculate the relationship between
position and velocity and time.
● No error analysis was performed
● The results met the objectives of the lab
● Answer
○ Part 2 Match 1
■ The horizontal line means the time in seconds it
took to reach the distance.
■ The difference between the positive and negative
slopes are that the points for positive move up and
while the negative points move down.
■ The total distance traveled is 12 meters
■ The easiest part was to match the slopes for the
positive and negative but the hardest part was to
match the mo slope one because of the different
points.

○ Part 3 SECTION A

● Part 3 Section B

5. Conclusion
We learned about the relationship between velocity vs time vs position and how
they apply to reality.
The question for me arose as to how this will affect something in three
dimensions?
