Weekly Summary:
This week, we analyzed motion that is not constant by performing and discussing the Cart on a Ramp lab. We focused on the x-t and v-t graphs, and we learned how to draw a new graph: the a-t graph. We also predicted different graphs and verified them using motion sensors. The key points mentioned were:
This week, we analyzed motion that is not constant by performing and discussing the Cart on a Ramp lab. We focused on the x-t and v-t graphs, and we learned how to draw a new graph: the a-t graph. We also predicted different graphs and verified them using motion sensors. The key points mentioned were:
- Slope of an x-t graph represents velocity
- Slope of a v-t graph represents acceleration
- Given an x-t graph, we determine how the velocity changes by analyzing how the slope changes at different points along the curve
