This experiment demonstrates the kinematics of motion in 1 and 2 dimensions. This lab will begin by stu...

Kinematics is the description of motion, which is often an important consequence of many physical events and phenomena.

Motion can be one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional. The equations that apply to an object's movement in all these cases use the vector quantities of position - which is displacement with respect to origi...
