Oluwadamilola Esan PHY111 09/04/2023 Kinematic Graphs Purpose: How will learning how to use spark tapes help determine the velocity of two different objects? Materials : Printer Paper Ruler Pen or pencil Tape Scissors 2 different objects Procedures : 1. Preparation: Set up a flat surface. Label your equipment. Prepare two tapes 2. Experimental Setup: Place tape on the flat surface. Ensure they are straight and secure. Position the camera to capture the setup. 3. Data Collection: Measure dot positions on both tapes at 0.1-second intervals from time zero. 4. Data Recording: Record time (s) and dot positions (m) in your lab notebook. 5. Data Analysis:
In Excel, create tables for Tape 1 and Tape 2 data (time in seconds, position in m). Calculate approximate velocity (m/s) for each point Calculate approximate accelerations using velocity changes. 6. Graphs: Create position vs. time graphs for Tape 1 and Tape 2 (position vs. time). Add titles and labels. For Tape 1, use a linear trendline with the equation. For Tape 2, use a power trendline with the equation. 7. Velocity vs. Time Graphs: Create velocity vs. time graphs for both tapes (velocity vs. time). Include titles and labels. Add linear trendlines with equations. Photograph(s) of Experiment : Data : Tape 1 Data
TAPE 2 DATA Calculations and Graphs : To find average Velocity for Tape 1, we need to find out the velocities used. Two values from the data table are 0.0365m/s at 9 seconds and 0.012m/s at 4 seconds. The equation for average velocity is (V2-V1)/2 The time amounts are useless as we are only calculating average velocity for now. We add 0.0365 to 0.012 and we get 0.0377m. We then divide that value by two to get our average velocity which is 0.0189 m/s. To calculate average
