Back and Forth Motion Lab #2 Report Dania Espinosa Miami Dade College (5116) PHY2048-L-Physics w/ Calculus Dr. Eduardo Araujo Pradere September 19, 2021
Back and Forth Motion: Lab #2 Purpose: Everywhere we look we find objects in motion. When we talk about motion in physics, we talk about Kinematics, which is defined as the study of motion without considering its causes (no consideration of the masses of the objects nor forces that may have caused the motion). The purpose of this lab is to observe and analyze different objects in kinematic motion by comparing the positions and velocities with respect to time. When observing the data on how different objects move along a path from one position to another, we can further expand our description of motion by understanding how it related to position, displacement, velocity, and time. Apparatus &Procedure: For this experiment, the student will conduct five different variations of motion: (1) an oscillating pendulum, (2) a Dynamics Cart on an incline, (3) a student jumping in the air, (4) a mass oscillating at the end of a spring, and (5) a ball tossed into the air. A motion detector will be used in order to record the motion. This motion detector serves as the origins of a coordinate system which will then plot position vs. time points into a graph. Each variation trial will be performed independently by placing the motion detector in frame with the object at motion. It’s important to make sure that the motion detector is aligned and correctly positioned for accuracy. The student will then start the motion of the object along with the recording simultaneously. Once the motion is complete, the student will then open the Graphical Analysis application which will have generated the motions in graphs of position, velocity and acceleration as functions of time. Last step requires the student to analyze the information and the relationship between the physical quantities and answer the given questions. 2
