Physics Lab 1

Objectives:
To familiarize yourself with laboratory equipment
To measure displacement and velocity
Materials:
Vernier data-collection interface with LabQuest App
Motion Detector
Venier Dynamics Tract
Venier Dynamic cart
Results:


Graph 1






Graph 2




Graph 3


Analyze:
1.


2. This slope of the graph shows that vernier dynamics cart is moving further away from
the detector. The units confirm that the cart is moving 0.2367 meter per second.
3. Looking at the second graph compares to the first graph, the velocity of the second
graph is more than the first graph. Therefore the second graph is faster than first
graph.


4. The slope of the first graph is 0.2367 m/s and the second is 0.4498 m/s. So this shows
that a cart in second graph moving faster than a cart in first graph.

5.

6. The significance of the sign of the slope of the third graph is all velocity in every
second is negative.
