Linear Motion Lab - jdenuno
Title: Linear Motion
Objectives:
• to investigate linear motion
• to differentiate between speed and velocity
• to explore types of motion exhibited by toy vehicles.
Materials:
• toy tractors, cars, trucks, and planes
• tape measure (cm)
• stop watches
Procedure:
1. Design a procedure to determine whether the toy tractors, cars, trucks, and planes move with constant velocity across a smooth surface.
(Hint: use at least 2 stop watches!)
2. Write out your procedure and construct appropriate data charts.
(You will need at least 5 trials per vehicle).
3. Run the procedure with the tractor and one or more of the other vehicles.
Results: Data Charts and Graphs (You get to design your own!)
Discussion/Analysis:
Consider some or all of these questions in your discussion/analysis.
Remember to support all statements with data and recorded observations!
• Compare/contrast the movement of the tractor with the other vehicles.
• Were you measuring speed or velocity?
• Did any of the vehicles move at constant velocity? Did they accelerate, decelerate? When?
• Provide an explanation for the differences in motion (if any) among the vehicles.
• Comment on how effective your procedure was at determining whether or not the vehicles move at constant velocity.
• Comment on any other observations you made.
• Indicate sources of error.
• Suggest improvements for your procedure.
Conclusion: 1 sentence testable statement. (Remember: Use 3rd person and make this short!)
Reflection: Personal statement about what you learned from the lab.
