Motion Challenge
Students match given position v. time data, then create corresponding velocity v. time and acceleration v. time graphs. Similarly, they create velocity v. time and position v. time graphs from a graph of acceleration v. time.
Lab Summary
In this experiment, students match given position v. time data; then create corresponding velocity v. time and acceleration v. time graphs. Similarly, they create velocity v. time and position v. time graphs from a graph of acceleration v. time.
