Principle


In this experiment, pupils will examine acceleration in an example
of motion under constant acceleration, and they will sum up the
laws of motion in the form of graphs. By comparing slopes contained
in the s/t2
and the v/t graphs, the
proportionality factor k in the relation
s = k
t2 can be determined to be
approximately a/2. This way, the
relationship s = 1/2
a t2 is made to be more
understandable.
