Lab Linear Motion Experimental Procedure 1 2 The

Lab: Linear Motion Experimental Procedure: 1. 2. The objective of this lab is to Plot graphs Distance vs. Time for constant speed and acceleration Use the toy-car provided and measure the time for the different distances (Time 1) in seconds 3. Repeat twice step 2 and measure Time 2 and Time 3 4. Calculate the Average Time for accuracy using the following formula: Avg. Time = (T 1+T 2+T 3) / 3 5. 6. Calculate the speed of the toycar using the following formula: Speed = Length / Avg. Time Use this information to plot a graph distance vs. time Class: ______ Name: ______ Date: ____ Period: ___ Linear Motion Lab Materials: ____________ Ilustration: Hypothesis: _______________________________ Table 1 Length [cm] 100 150 200 Time 1 [s] Time 2 [s] Time 3 [s] Avg. Time [s] Speed [cm/s]

Lab: Linear Motion Experimental Procedure: 1. Build a ramp as indicated by your teacher. 2. Locate the wheel on the upper side of the ramp. Mark this point as the “origin” 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Class: ______ Name: ______ Linear Motion Lab (Cnt’d) Acceleration. Illustration: Free the wheel and start marking on the ramp the location of the wheel every 2 seconds. Measure with a ruler the distance of each mark from the origin. Fill in the table. Repeat steps 3 & 4 to get two more readings. Calculate the Average distance. for accuracy using the following formula: Avg. Distance = (d 1+d 2+d 3) / 3 Use this information to plot a graph distance vs. time Date: ____ Period: ___ Table 2 Length [cm] Distance from origin 1 Distance from origin 2 Distance from origin 3 Average Distance Time = [2 s] Time= [4 s] Time= [6 s] Time= [8 s] Time= [10 s]

Lab: Linear Motion Graph Analysis: 1. Plot the distance against the time for Table 1 2. Plot the distance against the time for Table 2 Class: ______ Name: ______ Date: ____ Period: ___ Linear Motion Lab (Cnt’d) Graph Analysis: Constant Velocity Distance vs. Time D t Accelerated Motion Distance vs. Time D t Conclusion: _______________________________
