Position vs. Time: Understanding Motion
BlackBoard Notes

• Velocity and acceleration: What's the difference?

  ---

• Answer the questions that appear throughout exercise. Write in complete sentences!
• Each person will hand in a copy of their answers
• Predictions are not graded; don't change them to match your measurements
• Experiment files located in T:\Phys103 (is this the default directory?)
• Tips:
  • Lay down 1-m and 2-m sticks to determine start position
  • Hold board in front of you; gives you a cleaner signal
  • Don't trip!

(Put this on the board first)

• Today:
  • Mechanics Survey (20 minutes)
    • Do Not write on question sheet
    • Do write date and lab section on bubble sheet
      • Mon: 103C; Tue: 103D; Wed: 103E; Thur: 103F
  • Position vs. Time - Understanding Motion
  • Graphing & Curve Analysis with Excel
• Next week:
  • Meet in regular room (BH 204 - next to Einstein)
  • Print & read "The Motion of Free Fall" and sample lab journals. Read through "Lab Syllabus" & "Intro. to Lab. Practices"
