Each lab counts for 20 points and is about 1.42% of the total grade.
Lab Goals
This lab will help you learn the following:
how to do video analysis
Working on a spreadsheet plotting a chart. Introduction
This lab uses a video of the launch of the NASA/SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket during the first few minutes of its flight. The Lab is divided into three activities.
Use this video to collect the data.
Watch SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon rocket launch
In this lab, you will report your data in a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel. Make sure to save this file and submit it together with the Microsoft Excel file as your report.
Activity 1. Collecting Data from the Video
As you watch the video, notice that in the lower left corner of the screen the velocity of the rocket is given in km/hr. You will see this information beginning at about 17 seconds
after launch. Use the launch counter for the time, e.g., T+00:00:45 is a time marker of 45 seconds after launch.
1.
Open an Excel spreadsheet and record the velocity of the Falcon 9/Crew Dragon
for the first 3 minutes in increments of 5 seconds, beginning from T+00:00:20 to T+00:03:00. You should have two columns: one column for time (in seconds) and
a second column for velocity (in km/hr). 2.
Add a third column with the velocity converted to m/s. Label all your columns and
include the units only on the labels.

NOL PHY 201
3.
Make a graph of velocity vs. time using the data with units of m/s. The velocity should be on the vertical y-axis and the time on the horizontal x-axis. Use "Scatter plot", do not connect the data.
4.
Paste a copy of this graph here.
Activity 2. Analyzing Data
1.
The last part of your data should show a much different shape than the initial data. At about what time does this change happen? What happens in the video at that moment? Why does this cause the shape of the graph to change?
Page 2 of 5
NOL PHY 201
It changed between 0:02:40 to 0:02:45 seconds as it changed from Meco to Stage separation. Stage one separated from stage 2 which made its velocity go down. 2.
Note
: Future questions will refer to the data prior to the time you identified in the previous question.
3.
Without doing any calculations, write what happens to the acceleration of the rocket as time progresses starting from the beginning of the motion? How do you know from looking at the graph?
The acceleration was increasing every 5 seconds of motion. We can look at the graph and tell that we can see points are moving in the upward direction. 4.
Think of some reasons why the acceleration behaves the way you described in the previous question. What is going on with the rocket that may cause this?
The acceleration is increasing because of the increased pressure of fuel and the increasing pressure of air. 5.
About 1 minute and 35 seconds after launch, the announcer makes a comment about the acceleration of the rocket. What is the exact phrase that the announcer uses to describe this acceleration?
The acceleration was 1500 miles/hr and he also mentioned that Stage 1 was done with its job and was now Stage two’s turn to do its job. 6.
Based on what the announcer says, calculate the value of the acceleration of the rocket in units of m/s
2
at this time.
=11.1m/s^2
7.
Use your data for the time interval (100, 150) s and make another "Scatter Plot" of velocity versus time. Velocity should be on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
8.
Using the built-in linear regression function in Excel, determine the equation for the line of best for the graph. Ask to show the equation.

Learning Activities
Last time, you have learned how to determine if an object is moving or not.
For this module, you will learn how motion can be visualized or illustrated using
tape charts and motion graphs. To help you get ready, perform the task

the questions listed below:
A jeepney is moving at a rate of 45
kilometers within 0.50 hour before it
stops at a red light. After 5 minutes
the vehicle moves again, but this
time it initially moves at a rate of 15
kilometers for 15 minutes which then
increased to 35 kilometers after
another 15 minutes. The jeepney
then continued to move at the
same speed until it reaches another

use:
V₁ = V₁ - gt
vy=20 m/s-(9.8 m/s²)(1.0s)
vf= 20 m/s -9.8 m/s
vf = 10.2 m/s
b. v after 2s
use:
c. d after 1s
use:
v₁ = v₁ - gt
vy=20 m/s-(9.8 m/s²)(2.0s)

d=20m-4.9 m
d=15.1 m
(positive sign denotes that the object is
moving upward)
d. t from origin to maximum height
Note: An object thrown upward will
reach a certain point (maximum
height) where it will momentarily
stop and then start to move
downward. At this point, vy= 0.
V₁ = V₁ - gt
Use:
Manipulating the equation,
V₁ - Vf
