Graph+Match

Megan Eme & Paulina Van Overberghe

**Objective:** Create and analyze distance vs. time graphs and possibly velocity vs. time graphs

**Simulation:** [|Moving Man]


 * Data Collection Techniques/ Strategies:**
 * 1) Make sure you are on the 'charts' page on the simulation.
 * 2) Start and stop "Moving Man" at easy distances such as 10 or 5.
 * 3) Use playback feature to get exact data points.
 * 4) Using a constant acceleration (1 m/s/s), collect at least 5 data points for distance, time, and velocity.
 * 5) Graph your results on excel. One graph 'Distance vs. Time.' One graph 'Velocity vs. Time.'
 * 6) There should not be a % difference/ % error.


 * Graphical Analysis**​**:** Analyze the behavior of the graph, noting the relationships between distance and time, and velocity and time. Take special note of the slopes of the graphs.


 * Analysis Questions:**
 * 1) What do the slope of the velocity vs. time graph indicate?
 * 2) What is the relationship between distance and time? between velocity and time?
 * 3) What would be the difference if you did not keep the acceleration constant?
