Question

A physics student records the data in the table below during a 1-D motion experiment with constant acceleration. Unfortunately he forgets to properly label the table before emailing it to his lab partners for analysis. As a result, they have to use their knowledge of kinematics to figure out how the table is organized and what the rows and columns represent. Use your knowledge of kinematics to select the correct answer below. Assume that all units are SI (meters, seconds, meters/second, etc) even though they are not shown.

0.00 3.000 5.00

0.02 3.101 5.10

0.04 3.204 5.20

0.06 3.309 5.30

0.08 3.416 5.40

Explanation / Answer

since the accelaration is constant

accelaration = change in velocity / time taken

if first column shows time and last column shows velocity

hence first column represented by seconds

and last column represented by meters/second

and middle column represents meters
