Design a SIMPLE experiment that you can perform with a partner (a parent, a sibling, a friend, etc.) to measure a person's reaction time to either a visual stimulus or to an auditory stimulus. This might involve measuring the reaction time directly, or it might involve measuring another quantity (such as distance) and then using one of the kinematic equations of motion to solve for time. Do not jump to the internet to look for ideas (I will know if you did, and a small piece of me will die inside). If you took Fundamentals of Physics and completed a similar lab, you must perform a different experiment than the one you already did in the Fundamentals course
