P11U02P03 – Rev. Mar, 2018
Project: Moving Truck Video Analysis Name:
Inquiry Question
You live in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Unfortunately, somebody has
decided that your street is perfect for drag racing and you need
evidence. Armed with a cell phone and some solid physics you record
the motion of this vehicle. Can you prove it was speeding?
How much evidence and information about the motion of the vehicle can you extract from the
recording? Can you construct a graph?
Graphs can provide a great deal of information when it comes to describing an object’s motion.
Certainly, the shape of the graph can provide clues, but what about the slope and intercept?
How does the slope change over time? What does this tell you about the motion? What does
the area under a velocity-time graph represent? Once you find the pattern that exists between
displacement-time and velocity-time graphs, reconstructing the initial setup is easy!

Instructions
Using a pencil, answer the following questions. The lab is marked based on clarity of responses,
completeness, neatness, and accuracy. Do your best! Please ensure that any data measured (or recorded)
includes the appropriate number of significant digits (only one uncertain digit).
This activity is divided into three sections:
Proficient– this first section explores only the basic “core” ideas involved in understanding. Students
must demonstrate a sound understand with all of their answers in this section BEFORE attempting
the next section.
Expert – Your instructor will NOT review this section if the Core section above shows any
misconceptions. In this section students will make predictions and apply the concepts and ideas
learned above. For complete mastery it is expected that data collection and scientific procedures will
be as accurate as possible. All work shown should be clear with any units included. Answers should be
rounded off to the correct number of significant figures based on the data collected.
Mastery – Once again, your instructor will only look at this section provided he/she is confident that
the above Mastery criteria has been met. In this section students will demonstrate a deeper
understanding of the concepts through error analysis, experimental design etc. Physics concepts from
other units already covered will often be required here.
