Velocity/Speed Lab

Explore your speed by walking backwards and skipping down the hall to find your and your partner's speed for different distances in this lab. Record data, perform calculations, and answer thought-provoking questions! Understand why calculated velocity may not always reflect true movement. Discover ways to improve data accuracy.

  1. Velocity/Speed Lab

  2. Objective To determine how fast you move! You have to find the speed you and your partners when you: • Walk backwards • Skip down the hall For 5 m and 10 m distances

  3. Some Hints There should be different sections to this lab: • Data chart (perform 3 times and find average) • Calculations • Questions

  4. Questions • How far could you walk backwards in 10 minutes based on your speed for the 10 m trial? • How long would it take you to skip 30 m based on your speed for the 5 m trial? • Which task and distance had the fastest speed for you? • Which task and distance had the fastest speed for your partners?

  5. Why doesn’t the velocity that you calculated show the true picture of how you were moving? • How could you make the data have a true representation of your velocity?
