Position, Velocity, and Acceleration PHY 1951 Position, Velocity, and Acceleration Introduction The purpose of this laboratory experiment is to examine basic principles of mass that is accelerated uniformly in order to gain valuable attributes such as position, velocity, and acceleration that a physicist maybe interested in. By collapsing the components of F=ma, properties such as displacement and average velocity with respect to time are able to be derived. This laboratory experiment will be dealing with linear motion experiencing constant acceleration. The family of equations that are derived are known as the Linear Kinematic Equations of Motion. The main takeaway from this laboratory experiment is be able to plot position vs time, velocity vs time, and acceleration vs time; in order to derive velocity (m/s), acceleration (m/s 2), and the jerk (m/s3) respectively. These powerful fundamental properties of motion have laid the foundation for Newtonian Mechanics and continue to influence scientist and engineers of the future.
