Motion Sensor

1.The lines were different because when you back away fast the line goes up more than if you were to back away slow.
2. The line would descend.
3.To match the line you must walk backward at times and be still at times.
4.When walking faster on the velocity graph, the line spikes.
5.Acceleration is the rate at which an object gains velocity.
6.The detector was too sensitive, thus it was impossible to match.

A hop, skip, and a jump

1.How do the x,y,z acceleration vary over time? Why?
The large spikes are constant with the "z" graph, the small spikes are constant with the "x" graph, and the small spikes commence at the end of the "y" graph. This is because the motion sensor is held by the arm, which is constantly swinging up and down.
2.What happens to force over time? Patterns?
The force goes in a pattern of up to down because there is no force being applied to the sensor in the air, however when the sensor hits the ground, force is exerted through the body, and into the motion sensor.
3.Explain the relationship between force and acceleration in your data.
The force reflects the upward and downward acceleration.
4.Compare and contrast data for each individual.
In both tests, the lines spiked at the same time. What was different was the straight lines. Some were spikier than others.
