    1) The document describes an experiment using an interactive simulation to study motion along a straight line with constant speed. 2) The experiment involves recording the displacement and time of an object moving at constant speed in the simulation and using the data to calculate its velocity and average speed. 3) The average speed calculated from the experiment data has a 1.59% difference from the slope of the displacement-time graph, with the theoretical value being more accurate due to potential errors in the experiment.

    Motion along a straight line with constant speed

    A worksheet Using https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/forces-1d Interactive


    Simulation

    Name: Nur Dini Batrisyia Binti Ahmad Shahrul ID: FIS2110-4098


    Azhar

    Before you start the experiment, please visit Phet interactive simulation using the following link and
    download the forces in 1 dimension simulation. Then explore the simulation Features and get
    familiar with it’s components.

    https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/forces-1d

    Objectives:
    1. To study motion a long a straight line with uniform (constant) speed.
    2. Analyze graphical results.

    Theory:
    The speed of an object moves a long straight line is the distance traveled by the object in a time
    interval. This can be written as:
    Δx
    v=
    Δt

    Where v is the speed of the object in m/s, Δx is the distance traveled, and Δt is the time interval.

    The acceleration of the object is the rate of change of the speed of an object with respect to time.

    ∆ v v 2−v 1
    a= =
    ∆ t t 2−t 1

    If the object moves with constant speed, then Δv = 0 and the acceleration is zero.so whenever the
    object move with constant speed a long a straight line; it’s speed and direction does not change then
    it’s acceleration is always zero.

    Procedure:
    1. Visit the link below, download the forces in 1-dimension interactive simulation.
    https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/forces-1d

    1
    2. Open the forces in 1 dimension simulation, click on show horizontal forces, friction off, choose
    crate object, initial position 0 m, and click on graph position to display the position time graph (x
    – t) graph as shown in figure (1).

    Figure (1)
    3. Put the mouse on the crate and drag it to give it an initial force (push forward) so it start
    moving.
    (Note: you need to apply an initial force so the crate start moving, but you must not apply a
    continuous force to keep the object moving, explain).
    4. Click on Pause when the plot of the position time graph reaches 20 seconds.
    5. Click on playback then click on pause again so you can see a “ruler” sliding on the graph as
    shown in the figure (2).

    Figure (2)
    6. Drag the ruler to the first position when the plot gets straight, why? Record the displacement
    and the time in table (1).
    7. Drag the ruler to another point and record the second displacement with time.
    8. Repeat step 7 until you fill table (1).

    2
    Data analysis:
    1. Calculate the velocity ( v ) for each displacement ( x ¿ and time ( t ), then record it in table (1).
    2. Calculate the average speed of the crate and record your answer in table (1).

    Table (1)
    Trial Time (sec) Displacement (m) x
    v= (m/s)
    t
    1 2 0.3 0.1500
    2 4 0.5 0.1250
    3 6 0.8 0.1330
    4 8 1.1 0.1375
    5 10 1.4 0.1400
    6 12 1.7 0.1417
    7 14 2.0 0.1429
    8 16 2.2 0.1375
    9 18 2.5 0.1389
    10 20 2.8 0.1400
    Average velocity .......0.1387....

    3. Use excel to plot x vs t graph and attach it with your report.


    4. Find the slope of the x vs. t graph. How does it compare to the average velocity value you
    have calculated in step 2.

    The slope of the x vs. t graph = 0.1409 m/s


    The slope of the x vs. t graph,0.1409 has higher reading compared to the average velocity value
    in step 2, 0.1387 m/s.

    5. Find the percentage differences between the two values. Which one is more accurate and
    why?

    Vtheory−Vexp
    x 100
    Vtheory

    The percentage differences :


    (0.1387-0.1409) x 100 = 1.59%
    0.1387

    The theoretical values is more accurate because there may be errors due to misreading of data
    or inaccuracies in measurements during the experiment.
