increases or decreases)‚ ____ (quantity on the y axis) ___(type of change such as increases or decreases).” For example‚ the graph above could be described‚ “As time increases from 0 to 8 seconds‚ the velocity of Billy increases linearly from 0 to about 14 m/s.” One dimensional motion‚ such as a car trip‚ can be described using several different graphs. A velocity vs. time graph can be used to describe both acceleration and displacement. Acceleration is shown by the slope of the graph‚ displacement

Research Question How does spacing between dominoes affect the average velocity of the dominoes? Increasing space between each domino will decrease its velocity‚ decreasing the space will increase its velocity. Force at which it hits next dominoes is increased it will take longer for it hit‚ acceleration is constant‚ the longer it has to travel‚ the longer it will take to hit. According to Newton’s first law every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion

We varied both the accelerating force and the mass of the glider. We found that for a given force the acceleration of the glider was inversely proportional to the mass of the glider

Free Fall Rachel Shea Physics 131 Lab‚ QL Hasbrouck 210 Sept. 21‚ 2014 Abstract This experiment measures the study of motion by observing the force of gravity acting solely upon an object‚ and also measures reaction time. If an object is in free fall‚ the only force acting upon it is gravity. The object used in this experiment was a golf ball that provided some acceleration when dropped. A sensor positioned underneath a table recorded the golf ball’s pattern of motion‚ when dropped. The main
