Kinematics Lab
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
