    This lab report summarizes an experiment that tested the uniform motion of a cart moving down an air track. The independent variable was the distance between start and stop points, and the dependent variable was the time for the cart to pass light sensors. A cart was released from predetermined locations and the time to pass two sensors was recorded. The data showed the time was relatively constant across distances, demonstrating uniform motion down the air track.

    Lab Report: Uniform motion

    By: Christian Lockley


    Date: Sept 16, 2017
    :

    Variables:

    Independent Variable:

    Distance between begining of air track and start and stop points on for each trail.
    Dependent Variable:

    Time needed for cart to pass light sensor


    Materials:

    Air track.
    Cart

    Procedure:

    1. Place cart at pre determined location near the end of air track.
    2. Release cart, attached spring will propel cart over the track, past the sensors.
    3. Read time after cart passes the second sensor.

    Data Table:
    Arithmetic Mean: 1.1594
    Average Deviation: .184

    Conclusion:
    The time needed for the air track is relatively constant, thus proving uniformity of motion.
