  1. Motion Sensor “g” LabakaAn analysis of free fall motion Lab and Walkthrough by: Mr. HeffernanSpecial Guest Appearance from: Mr. Pento (probably)

  2. Take Motion Sensor

  3. Plug into USB Port

  4. Set on cart (short range), not human (long range).

  5. Put “noise reducer on ground”

  6. Have one person hold motion sensor

  7. Have one person hold book

  8. One person clicks “start”

  9. Drop to ground

  10. Repeat • Delete the run. • Do it 5-7 times for a book. • Then switch to a folder and repeat 5-7 times. • Record averages. • Compute percent difference. • High five one another upon completion.

  11. Troubleshooting • Make sure you only select points where the book is falling when you’re doing your “linear fit”. • Not when the graph is freaking out (spikes very high) • Or before it starts moving (at zero) • Make sure the motion sensor is held DIRECTLY over the book and is pointing DIRECTLY downward. • When you’re doing the trials with the folder….try putting some papers in the folder to weigh it down a bit. Otherwise it won’t fall straight downward.

  12. Troubleshooting • Try to get through the lab….but I understand if you struggle a bit your first time using the program. • If you feel like you messed something up….close Datastudio and open it up again.

  13. Thanks for being awesome!
