Experiment 2: Motion
Reba Chamblee
Partner: Erin Jacoby
Results:
PART 1: Distance In this portion, it was determined that as one walks away from the detector the slope is positive and becomes steeper the faster the motion. When there is movement towards the detector, the slope of the graph becomes negative.
PART 2: Graph Matching When there is no motion, the slope of the graph is zero. The slope of the graph represents velocity.
PART 3: Velocity At constant velocity, the slope of the graph is zero. When the velocity changed, the slope moved up or down depending on the movement. Vertical lines were not reproducible. It is not possible due to the velocity having to “jump” to another velocity. The
