Research Question How does spacing between dominoes affect the average velocity of the dominoes? Increasing space between each domino will decrease its velocity‚ decreasing the space will increase its velocity. Force at which it hits next dominoes is increased it will take longer for it hit‚ acceleration is constant‚ the longer it has to travel‚ the longer it will take to hit. According to Newton’s first law every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion

LAB WRITE-UP NAME: Gabriel-Ohanu Emmanuel PARTNER: Baptiste Gilman TITLE: Graph Matching PURPOSE: The purpose of the experiment was to analyze the motion of a student walking along a straight line in front of the motion detector moving back and forward with different speed trying to match the graph provided. To also understand and interpret graphs of distance vs time and velocity vs time. To also know what the slopes of the each graph represent which tells how far the student travelled
