Kinematics Cheyenne Herder 11/06/2022 Activity 1: Graph and interpret motion data of a moving object
Activity 1. Table 1 Time (x axis) (seconds) Position (y axis) (meters) 0 0 5 20 10 40 15 50 20 55 30 60 35 70 40 70 45 70 50 55 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Position(meters) Questions for Activity 1 Question 1: What is the average speed of the train during the time interval from 0 s to 10 s? 4m/s Question 2: Using the equation: v = s 2 s 1 t 2 t 1 , calculate the average speed of the train as it moves from position x = 50m to x = 60m. .66 m/s Question 3: What does the slope of the line during each time interval represent? Acceleration Question 4: From time t = 35 s until t = 45 s, the train is located at the same position. What is slope of the line while the train is stationary? 0
Question 5: Calculate the average speed of the train as it moves from position x = 70m to x = 55m. What does the sign of the average velocity during this time interval represent? The negative sign shows the train in reverse and it is -3m/s Question 6: What is the displacement of the train from time t = 0s until t = 50s? 15 m Question 7: What is the total distance traveled by the train from time t = 0s until t = 50s? The total distance is 470 m Question 8. What is the slope of the line during the time interval t = 45 to t = 50? -3 Question 9: What does the sign of the slope in question 8 represent in terms of the motion of the train? That the train was in reverse Question 10: What is the average velocity of the train during the interval t= 0s to t = 50s? 48.18m/s Question 11: Does the train’s average velocity during the interval t= 0s to t = 50 s provide a complete picture of the train’s motion during this time? No because the velocity changed Activity 2. Calculate the velocity of a moving object. Activity 2.

An upward line Question 2: What is the shape of the graph when displacement is graphed against time squared? An upward line Question 3: What do the shapes of these graphs tell you about the relationship between distance and displacement for an object traveling at a constant acceleration? They both do the same thing Activity 4: Predict the time for a steel sphere to roll down an incline.

Question for Activity 4: What effect does the type of the sphere have on the time of the object to travel the measured distance, explain? Activity 5: Demonstrate that a sphere rolling down the incline is moving under constant acceleration. Questions for Activity 5: 1. Describe your observations of the sounds made as the sphere crosses the equally spaced rubber bands (procedure step 4)? (If the sounds are too fast to discern, lower the angle of the ramp.) Sound increased. 2. Describe your observations of the sounds made as the sphere crosses the unequally spaced rubber bands (procedure step 9)? (Use same angle as step4). The spacing made it more unequal 3. Explain the differences you observed if any between the sounds with equal spacing and sounds with unequal spacing. All that I mentioned before and it was more clear in the beginning.
