Velocity Lab

What did you learn from the velocity lab?

I learned how objects gain speed when going downhill. I learned how to better use excel and logger pro to test and record data. I also had fun while learning.

That velocity is the motion in one direction. The car accelerated and then we clocked the time. I learned more about loggerpro and velocity

I learned that it takes a lot of books to make a 45 cm ramp. I also learned that the motion detectors work really well and take really accurate readings. When the car would fall off the lab it would take that reading too, and it was really drastic from the falling points.

I learned that the farther back the car was pulled, the more it accelerated going down.

I learned about the car and how fast it would go down the ramp, and i also played with it a lot cause it was fun ramping it off the board. I learend the differnt speeds it had and our speeds were all differnt and so yea it was pretty sweet.

i learned that when you go downhill you go faster. and wind resitance slows the speed down.

We learned an example of velocity is when a car goes downhill and gains speed as it does so. We learned how to use logger pro a little bit better and did some converting. We also learned that if you give it enough speed, it ramps it. (Thanks to Emily!)

I learned that the further the car was up on the ramp the greater the velocity was, and the lower the car was on the ramp the less the velocity was.

i learned how the speed of the impact car went down hill and gained speed and hit the book. I learned how it use acceleration to go downhill.

Before this lab, I thought that maybe if a car was rolling down a very steep hill, it would go the fastest. But our highest slope was actually the slowest kinda. Maybe our motion detector was weird. But i liked it. It was alot of measuring and if you dont get the measurements right, then your whole project is off.

I learned that the higher you go up the more velocity you get. IF you go from 40 it is less then 60. It was a very interesting lab, especially with emily and bryanna in it.

By participating in this velocity lab on the fine friday of this week, I learned that the higher you prop up a ramp, the paster the car goes down it. Also, the farther up you have your releasing point, the faster the car will go.

I learned how objects gain speed when going downhill. We learned more on converting and velocityadn also learning more on how to use loggerpro. I also learned that when the car was higher on the ramp the velocity was greater and when the car was lower on the ramp the velocity was lower.

I learned that cars can go really fast down a ramp. I have also learned a lot more about velocity and how to record it. This was very fun and I would love to do something like this again.

Well i learned that when you are higher at the when you have your car higher then it will go faster and that taht will change the velocity of your moving object..........

I learned that when objects go down hill they eventually will get faster.

I learned that you have to be smarter then the computer, and have to have the motion sensor pointing towards the car for it to work :]. We learned about velocity and made graphs showing the time and velocity. It was pretty fun
