Motion Graphs and Kinematic Equations Lab Billy Andrews (Eric Wright/Paul Pennoyer) 10/16/11 Purpose -To use CPO tracks and photo-gates to collect time data on a moving energy car at varying intervals of distance and then calculate the acceleration, velocity, and position versus time of the energy car. With this data, motion graphs will be created to compare the accuracy of your measurements to the 5 kinematic equations. Procedure: Materials -CPO Tracks -Photogates and Timing Equipment -Energy Car -CPO Track Stands -Calculator -Track Clamps Equations

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
