Use the motion sensor to monitor the
motion
of a student walking and to produce graphs of his or her position and
velocity
vs time.
NOTES
Clamp the motion sensor to a tall
ringstand
at a height of about 1 meter. Keep stray objects out of the 15°
cone field of view of the sensor. The sensor cannot detect
objects
closer to it than 0.4 m or farther than 4 m.
The experiment file entitled
"motion.mbl"
has the x, v, and a vs t graphs displayed with appropriately scaled
axes.
Alternatively, go to setup>sensors>details to set up
graphs with
the origin at the position of the sensor and displacements away from
the
sensor as positive. Enter the correct room temperature.
