Activity 3 Graphical analysis of human

motion
One of our group mates walked in a
straight line for 10 seconds starting from
rest. The distance travelled every
second was measured. The total
displacement versus total time of our
group mate was plotted using excel. The
best fit line or curve was drawn. The
instantaneous velocity at the end of
each time interval was determined.
Instantaneous velocity was plotted. The
best fit line or curve was drawn. The
motion of our group mate was analyzed.
Activity 4 Reaction time
One of our group mate was asked to
hold a meter stick vertically at the zero
mark while the thumb and index finger
at the 50 cm mark was positioned. One
of our group mate was asked to drop the
meter stick without telling the other
member of the group. The reaction time
was computed for the formula where h
is the distance the meter stick has faller
measured from the 50 cm mark to
where the meter stick was caught. The
reaction time of the other members of
the group was determined. The
procedure while talking to a friend using
our cellphone was repeated

Methodology
Activity 1 Graphical Analysis of Human
Motion
The appearance of the displacement
versus time graph and velocity versus
time graph of a person moving away
with constant velocity from a chosen
starting point for a period of 10 seconds
was sketched and predicted. The
appearance of the displacement versus
time graph and velocity versus time
graph of a person moving towards a
chosen starting point with constant
velocity for a period of 10 seconds from
was sketched and predicted. The
appearance of the displacement versus
time graph and velocity versus time
graph of a person moving away from a
chosen starting point along a straight
line with increasing speed for a period of
10 seconds from was sketched and
predicted.
Activity 2 Graph Matching
The experiment file 01b Graph Matching
was opened. A position versus time
graph appeared. Movement was made
until the graph of our motion matched
the graph. The experiment file 01d
Graph Matching was opened. A position
versus time graph appeared. Movement
was made until the graph of our motion
matched the graph.
