    average was taken and this was repeated for 5 animals at 15oC and 25oC. The calculated average velocity of the animal was also collated with class results and recorded in a table RESULTS Length-specific O2 consumption rate was shown to be slightly higher in the warmer temperature of 25oC compared to the O2 consumption rate of artemia at 15oC (Figure 1). Contrastingly‚ the opposite applies for velocity‚ with the artemia in the colder environment of 15oC showing faster speeds of movement in comparison

     slowing down‚speeding up‚ and turning provide a sufficient vocabulary for describing the motion of objects. In physics‚ we use these words and many more. We will be expanding upon this vocabulary list with words such as distance‚ displacement‚speed‚ velocity‚ and acceleration. As we will soon see‚ these words are associated with mathematical quantities that have strict definitions. The mathematical quantities that are used to describe the motion of objects can be divided into two categories. The quantity

    production and reaction velocity increased with increasing catalase concentration‚ however‚ the 33% percent catalase concentration showed a drop of 0.175 mL O2/s compared to the 25% catalase concentration (figure 1.2). The velocity of 25% catalase was 0.275 mL/s‚ 33% was 0.1 mL/s‚ 50% was 0.435 mL/s‚ and 75% catalase was 0.575 mL/s (figure 1.1). The 50% catalase concentration produced the most O2 overall however the 75% catalase concentration had the fastest initial reaction velocity. Experiment III:

    path. In order to find the object’s velocity‚ one needs to find its displacement vector over the specific time interval. The change in position‚ or the object’s displacement‚ is represented by the change in r. Also‚ remember that a position vector is a displacement vector with its tail at the origin. It is already known that the average velocity of a moving object is ᐃd/ ᐃt‚ so for an object in circular motion‚ the equation is ᐃr/ ᐃt. IN other words the velocity vector has the same direction as the

    Variables used in this lab were “x” for position of the object‚ “v” for velocity of the object‚ and “a” for acceleration of the object. Understanding the graphical representation of motion was important in helping students understand how position‚ velocity‚ and acceleration are affected with a moving object over a certain period of time. Using a motion detector and an Xplorer GLX‚ a calculator that graphed our distance velocity‚ and acceleration‚ students were able to create graphs for the information
