PART 1: AVERAGE VELOCITY

I. Introduction:
The average velocity is the total displacement of an object divided by the elapsed time. In symbols:
v 1+ v 2
v́=
2
Where:
v1 = first computed velocity
v 2 = second computed velocity
v́ = average velocity

II. Objectives:
1. . Finding the velocity in every meter I ran
2. Compute for the velocity using the formula 𝒗 = d/t
3. Compute for the average velocity

III. Materials:
Phone and tape measure
IV. Procedure:
1. Look for a spacious place where you can perform this experiment.
2. Measure a 10-m straight line distance on the ground. Mark the start and end points.
3. Using a stopwatch, measure the time it takes you to run the 10-m track. Do it three times. Take the average
time.
4. Compute for your average velocity.

V. Data and Results:

TRIAL DISTANCE (m) TIME (s) VELOCITY (m/s)
1 10 9.31 1.07 m/s
2 10 9.08 1.1 m/s
3 10 9.66 1.03 m/s
Average 10 9.35 1.07 m/s

VI. Computations:

VII. Generalization:
Finding the velocity is easy for me.

 PART 2: VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION

I. Introduction:
Velocity is the rate of motion in a given direction. Its magnitude can be determined by using the equation:
∆x
v́=
∆t
Where:
∆ x = change in displacement
∆ t = time elapsed
v́ = velocity

Whenever the velocity of an object changes, the object accelerates. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. It is
mathematically defined as:
∆ v v −v o
á= ∨
∆t t
Where:
∆ v = change in velocity
v = final velocity
v o = initial velocity
∆ t = time elapsed

II. Objectives:
1. Finding the velocity and acceleration in every meter I ran
2. Compute for the velocity using the formula 𝒗 = d/t
3. Compute for the acceleration using the formula 𝒂 = v1-v0/t1-t0

III. Materials:

Tape measure and phone stop watch if you have

IV. Procedure:
1. Look for a spacious place where you can perform this experiment.
2. Measure a 30-m straight line distance on the ground. Place a marker after each 10m.
3. Using a stopwatch, measure the time it takes you to walk the first 10m, during the second 10m, and run the last
10m. Do it three times. Take the average time.
4. Compute for your velocity at the end of every 10m and your acceleration.
5. Make three trials and tabulate your data and results.

V. Data and Results:

d3 30 t3 24.54 v3 1.22 a3 0.09
d1 10 t1 9.02 v1 1.11 a1 0.12

d3 30 t3 21.55 v3 1.40 a3 0.09

VII. Generalization:

That's something I discovered when it came to calculating acceleration. I can state that there is a theme in this
exercise that we conducted. Every 10 meters, the acceleration changes.
