PHY 111 6/3/2023 Lab 2 Constant Acceleration Motion Lab Purpose The purpose of this lab is to analyze the motion of two different objects. In this lab, we analyzed the positions, velocities, and accelerations of the two objects for any given moment in time. Throughout the lab, we gathered data to create position vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs and used those graphs to determine kinematic equations. This lab not only helps determine the velocity approximations of two objects but also determines the position of the objects at a certain time using the data collected. Materials The materials included a printer, paper, ruler, pen or pencil, tape, and scissors. Procedure First, Tape 1 and both sections of Tape 2 were printed and cut out to create three separate tapes. After cut out, both section one and section two of Tape 2 were taped together to create one continuous tape. After that, a ruler was used to measure positions of the object for both Tape 1 and Tape 2 at each 0.1 second interval as indicated by the dots relative to zero. Each data point was recorded in two separate data tables for Tape 1 and Tape 2. Once all the data was collected in a data table in Excel, the data was plotted into a graph for further analysis.
