Q1:
Analysis
To attain the motion desired by graph (c), the experimenter did the
following actions:
To attain the motion desired by graph (f), the experimenter did the
following actions:
Starting from 0.9 m away from the wall, walk 1 meter
away from the wall with constant velocity in 3.5
seconds.
Rest for three (3) seconds.
Continue walking 1.4 m away from the wall with a
constant velocity in 3.5 seconds.
Q2: The slope of a Position vs. Time graph gives velocity. A positive
slope shows that an object is moving away from its starting point.
While a negative slope shows that it is returning to its starting point.
Q3: On a graph of Position vs. Time, a slope of zero signifies that an
object is stationary.
Q4: A constant slope on a Position vs. Time graph, shows a motion with
constant velocity.
Q5: As stated before, the slope of a Position vs. Time graph gives
velocity. If the gradient is changing (a curve), the object must be
accelerating or decelerating. It means that the velocity is changing.
Q6: (Return to procedure).
Q7:
