1. Motion example: A camel on roller skates rolls down a ramp with constant acceleration. At time 1-0, the camel is at position x-0 m, with an initial velocity of v-0.50 m/s and accelerates at a=4.0 ms. Write the equation of motion for this specific example. 2. In Excel or some other spreadsheet, make graphs of velocity versus time AND position versus time for this example. Your graphs should have at least 10 data points and cover the time period 1-0s to 1-10 s. Remember to follow the graphing procedure and rules you learned in Experiment 1. 3. Fit the graph of velocity versus time with a best-fit line and display the equation on the graph. Fit the graph of position versus time with a quadratic best-fit curve and display the equation on your graph. Print the graphs and include them with your lab report. 1. In which direction, uphill or downhill, is the positive x-direction? How do you know? 2. On the graph of velocity versus time, what parameter represents the acceleration of the camel down the slope? - Circle and label this on your graph 3. In the space below, write the best-fit equation as listed on your graph of position versus time. Use this to compute the acceleration of the camel down the ramp (show your work). 1.
