PHYSICS 1 LAB FINAL ACTUAL UPDATED QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
The exact location of an object in a coordinate system at Position
a particular instant in time (Example: The car stops at x =
8m at t = 2.5s)
, The displacement (change in position) as a ratio to the Velocity
time necessary for the change in position to occur. A
vector that needs a direction attached to the ratio to
make it a vector (Example ___ = 7.15 m/s South)
The rate (magnitude) at which an object's velocity (m/s) Acceleration
changes as a function of time. It is what happens when
velocity changes. (Example: The car rolled down the hill
with a constant ____of 4.5 m/s²)
Shows an object's location over time, with its slope Position vs. Time Graph
representing velocity
Shows an object's velocity over time, with its slope Velocity vs. Time Graph
representing acceleration
Plots acceleration on the y-axis and time on the x-axis to Acceleration vs. Time Graph
show how an object's acceleration changes over time
Refers to the motion of an object that is either moving Free Fall
vertically up or down under only the influence of the
force of gravity such that the object's acceleration is
a = g = 9.81 toward the center of the earth
Acceleration due to gravity is not always negative. The True
acceleration vector's sign portion depends on the
coordinate system in which the object is moving. Most of
the time, you will see toward the earth's center defined as
-y
An object moving down a friction-free incline will a=gsin(θ)
accelerate at
In the lab, we assumed the force of gravity was the only True
force acting on the falling object. To this end, we chose
to ignore the friction of air and any friction between the
object and the tube. So, we would expect some slight
difference between the acceleration of the falling object
and g
