Name _____________________ Class ______________ Date _________Lab Report - Activity P04: Position, Velocity and Acceleration GraphsWhat Do You Think?The purpose of this activity is to study the relationship among position, velocity, and accelerationin linear motion. How do the distance vs. time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graphsfor a fan cart uniformly accelerating, from rest, compare with one another?Prediction: Sketch a prediction of the position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time graphs forthe Fan Cart’s motion.x v at t tData TableItemResultSlope of Position vs. Time dataVelocity ValuePolynomial Equation of fit for Position vs. TimeLinear Equation of fit for Velocity vs. TimeLinear Equation of fit for Acceleration vs. TimeQuestions1. At what point in time did the average velocity occur? How does this time correspond to thetimes from the two points selected in the position vs. time plot?2. What are the appropriate units for the slopes of the position and velocity vs. time plots?P04 ©1999 PASCO scientific p. 25
