Name: Micah Ndango Date: October 22, 2023 Lab 01 – Velocity and Acceleration Q1. Which color represents velocity? Answer: The velocity is represented by the color blue. Q2. Which color represents acceleration? Answer: The acceleration is represented by the color green. Q3. Is the red ball speeding up or slowing down when the velocity and acceleration vectors are pointing in the same direction? Answer: The red ball is speeding up when the velocity and acceleration vectors are pointed in the same direction. Q4. Is the red ball speeding up or slowing down when the velocity and acceleration vectors are pointing in opposite directions? Answer: The red ball is slowing down when the velocity and acceleration vectors are pointing in opposite directions. Q5. When you drag the red ball across the screen in any direction, which vector shows up first? What does this mean in terms of the motion of the ball? Answer: When you drag the red ball across the screen, the velocity vector shows up first. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity, thus the velocity of the ball would have to change in order for acceleration to take place. Q6. In a uniform circular motion, in which direction is the velocity vector pointing? Answer: In a uniform circular motion, the velocity vector is pointing toward the center of the circle. Q7. In a uniform circular motion, in which direction is the acceleration vector pointing? Answer: In a uniform circular motion, the acceleration vector is pointing in the direction the ball is moving. Q8: What is another example of a two-body system that this circular motion could represent? Answer: Another example of a two-body system that this circular motion could represent is the Earth orbiting around the sun.
