Abstract. A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the
research, and quantitatively present the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented
separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but
if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be
avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. It should not normally
exceed 200 words.
Keywords: Keyword1; Keyword2; at most 6words/phrases; keyword4; separate by semicolons; keyword6
1 Introduction
1.4 Scope and Limitations
1.1 Objectives
The aim of this experiment is to determine the
object moving in the same direction with a constant
speed and uniform motion.
The overall objectives of this experiment can be
defined as follows:
To observe the motion of the free-falling
object
To determine its speed and acceleration
1.2 Background
The velocity of an object in a uniformly
accelerated motion is continually changing based on
the direction of the velocity since it is characterized
by a movement in a straight line, a constant
acceleration, and a difference from zero. One of the
most prevalent things we experience on a daily basis
is motion. A moving car, a child jogging down the
street, or a fly moving through the air are all
examples of motion. Accordingly, a body is
generally considered to be in motion if it changes its
position with regard to a fixed point and time.
Different types of motion, such as projectile motion,
rectilinear motion, rotating motion, etc., depend on
the path that the particle takes. We shall just pay
attention to rectilinear motion, also referred to as
linear motion.

Provide sufficient detail to allow reproduction of the
experiment. Do not include in the Materials part the
basic laboratory glassware unless the setup is being
described. This section must be in a narrative form.

2.2 Formatting the text
The text of your paper should be formatted as
follows:
- 11-point Times, Times Roman or Times New
Roman.
- The text should be set to single line spacing.
- Paragraphs should be justified.
- The first paragraph after a section or subsection
should not be indented; subsequent paragraphs
should be indented by 5 mm.
The use of sections to divide the text of the paper
is optional and left as a decision for the author.
Where the author wishes to divide the paper into
sections the formatting shown in Table 2 should be
used.

2.3 Formatting Figures and Tables
Figures and tables, as originals of good quality and
well contrasted, are to be in their final form, ready
for reproduction, pasted in the appropriate place in
the text. Try to ensure that the size of the text in
your figures is approximately the same size as the
main text. Try to ensure that lines are no thinner
than 0.25 point

In this experiment, with the use of laboratory tools,
measures how the position of a falling body changes
with the passage of time after it was released. On
earth, an object in free fall accelerates downward at
a rate of 9.81 m/s^2. The average speed of a
moving object during at time t is measured by:
2 H (¿ meter )
gev =
t2
