Measuring Speed of a moving object

Measure speed of a moving object.

Part of the course: Mechanics β€” Motion, Forces & Measurement

Mission

Measure speed of a moving object

Variables

What you change

  • Moving distance

What you measure

  • Speed

What you keep constant

  • Initial position
  • Air Resistance
  • Surface flatness

Equations

d = Distance

t = Time (1 s)

S = Speed (\frac{m}{s})

S = (\frac{d}{t})
