Time and velocity lab
Purpose of conducting this lab?
The purpose we are conducting this lab is to find the mathematical and graphical relationship between velocity and time. By conducting a series of trials with different slopes by adding books to the ramps at the end of it to increases the slope. We were given the choice of either using the metal ball or a car to calculate how far on object moves through time.
Acceleration- can happen when an object is slowing down or speeding up
Velocity- how fast the object traveled
Steps:
1) Get the ramp which measures 121 cm figure out which velocity you want to show if you want a steep slope or a small slope add or take books away.
2) Get 2 to 3 books to give the ramp a small slope.
3) Get your computers out and open logger pro and press play
4) When you press play let go of the car and when the car reaches the end of the ramp
