Non - Accelerated Rectilinear Motion Objectives

This document describes an experiment on non-accelerated rectilinear motion. Students will measure the time it takes to walk fixed distances and use this to calculate velocity and acceleration. They will record their results in a table and plot graphs of position versus time and velocity versus time. The objectives, materials, setup, theory, procedure, expected data and results, sample computation, interpretation, and conclusion are outlined. Some review questions related to key terms are also provided.

NON – ACCELERATED RECTILINEAR MOTION

OBJECTIVES:

APPARATUS/MATERIALS: Stopwatch and tape measure

SET – UP:
THEORY OF DISCUSSION:

PROCEDURE:

1. Choose a convenient place to do the experiment outside the classroom. Mark your
starting as Xo.
2. Lay out on the ground from the starting point 4m, 8m, 12m, 16m and mark these
distances.
3. From the starting point, walk towards 4m, 8m, 12m, and 16m continuously with
normal paces. Record the time as you pass these distances on the table provided.
4. Compute the velocity and acceleration during the time intervals indicated. Place it
on the table provided. The time interval every 4 meter distances should almost be
equal.
5. Plot the graph of the position (X) as ordinate and time (t) as abscissa. Connect the
points. Plot also the graph of velocity (V) as ordinate and time (t) as abscissa.
