Week 1 Lab

Lab 1 (See textbook pages 36-39, Chapter 2, Lesson 2) involves the graphical analysis of velocity.  This simulation can be downloaded from Grantham’s Website under PH220. Simulations”; its file name is “EXP #1 C1 IP.ip”. Fill in the data table, and answers for the blanks and complete the graph (properly labeled and annotated) in the Lab Answer Sheet at the end of this lab.  Send in this Lab Answer Sheet in the appropriate drop box at the end of each week. These can be sent via USPS (postal), or scanned and sent as pdf or picture files (e.g., .tif, .gif, etc.) or by any other method of your choice as long as the answer Sheets are legible and translatable by Grantham University.

Run the simulation.  You will use the data from the “Time” and “position” measurement tables to fill in the data table below at the indicated times.  Then graph the data on the graph paper provided (Lab Answer Sheet) in order to construct a d-t or x-t graph.  Calculate your answers onto the Lab Answer sheet to be handed in after all seven (7) labs are completed.  Graph, analyze, and annotate your data from your data table on the graph paper provided on your Lab Answer Sheet.
