Non Uniform Acceleration Lab


Pre-Lab & Post-Lab Questions


Pre-Lab Questions:

  1. What do you expect the graph of distance vs. time to look like?
  2. What do you expect the graph of velocity vs. time to look like?
  3. What do you expect the graph of acceleration vs. time to look like?

Post-Lab Questions:

  1. If you integrate something, what are you really doing?
  2. Can you tell if an object is accelerating at a uniform or non-uniform rate from looking at the shape of a distance vs. time graph?
  3. Can you tell if an object is accelerating at a uniform or non-uniform rate from looking at the shape of a velocity vs. time graph?
  4. Can you derive an algebraic equation to calculate variables for a non-uniform accelerating object?
