2-5+Distance-Time+Graph+EXPERIMENT

The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate uniform motion and who this on a graph, called a 'distance-time' graph.

[We went outside and performed the experiment. Make sure you nkow the steps we performed, because you'll have to do a **formal lab writeup** which includes this procedure]

Make sure you get all the observations for your 'type of motion' ("runners" or "walkers") Sample Observations: .... sample observations from our class are here Questions: 1. Find the slope of YOUR line of motion. This represents your average speed for the entire motion. We calculate the slope using the formula: m = __y1 - y2__ .......x1 - x2

2. Find the average speed for YOUR line of motion at the exact following times (using the formula v = d/t): .....at 5 s .....at 7 s .....at 10 s [This is called the //instantaneous speed//]
