Velocity and Time Lab Activity.

On March 8, 2011, we did our first lab activity in class. The lab involved velocity/time, and distance/time graphs which we had to try and match through a motion detector. The first graphs we tried were distance/time graphs and after a couple of tries, our graphs started look like the graphs given. For a positive slope, we walked away from the motion detector, and for a negative slope, we simply walked towards the detector or simply stayed in the same spot for the horizontal lines. After conquering graphs B and C, we came to graph D which was our first graph for velocity/time. The velocity/time graphs, which is pertaining to speed, were a lot harder to match. They required geisha-like steps at a certain speed, closer or farther away from the motion detector and without a doubt, there were many trial and errors. This being said, the velocity/time graphs were a lot harder to try and correspond with.

Who can walk like a geisha at a constant speed for so long?
