Graph Matching

In this lab, students will explore plots of position and velocity vs. time. The Motion Sensor is used to detect the motion of a person moving back and forth in front of the sensor along a straight line at different speeds. The challenge is to move in such a way that a plot of the motion ‘matches’ the graph that is provided.
