Introduction

This experiment was conducted to analyze graphs of uniform motion and accelerated motion, and to determine a person's normal reaction time and their reaction time while distracted. The experiment involved four activities: analyzing human motion graphs, matching graphs, more graph analysis of motion, and measuring reaction time. A computer program and meter stick and timer were used to collect and analyze data for the activities related to graphing motion and measuring reaction time.

Introduction

Eq. (1) Average Velocity

This experiment was carried out


to draw the displacement versus time graphs
and velocity versus time graphs for uniform
motion and uniformly accelerated motion
and to determine ones normal reaction time
and his reaction time while using being
distracted.
Four activities comprise this
experiment: graphical analysis of human
motion, graph matching, graphical analysis
of motion, and reaction time. The material
used for the first two activities was the
Vernier Logger Pro, a general-purpose data
collection and analysis computer program
developed in 1996. For the last two
activities, a meter stick and timer were used.
Theory

VAV =

displacement
t

VINST = 2(VAV)
Eq. (2) Instantaneous Velocity

t= 2

h
g

Eq. (3) Reaction time where h is the distance


the meter stick has fallen measured from the
50cm mark to where you catch the meter
stick and g is the gravity of Earth that has an
approximate value of 9.8 m/s2
