Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.30 Motion from Experimental Data skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A lab group has three representations for one object: a ticker tape with equally increasing gaps, a position-time plot that curves upward, and a velocity-time plot that is nearly a straight rising line. Which motion model is best supported?

Aconstant negative velocity

Bzero acceleration with constant speed

Cchanging acceleration with no consistent pattern

Dconstant positive acceleration

Solution & Explanation:All three representations point to the same model: speed increases by equal amounts, position-time data curve upward, and velocity-time data have a positive straight-line slope.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which paired experimental data set is internally consistent with constant acceleration of +2 m/s²?

APosition first differences 1,1,1 m and velocity readings 1,3,5 m/s

BPosition first differences 1,3,5 m and velocity readings 5,3,1 m/s

CPosition first differences 1,3,5 m and velocity readings 1,3,5 m/s at interval midpoints

DPosition first differences 1,4,9 m and velocity readings 1,1,1 m/s

Solution & Explanation:For equal 1 s intervals, first differences estimate midpoint velocities. The sequence 1,3,5 increases by 2 m/s each interval, consistent with +2 m/s².

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Position data at t(s)=0,1,2,3,4 are x(m)=0,6,8,6,0. Which constant-acceleration model fits the full pattern?

Ax = 2t, with constant positive velocity

Bx = 8 - 2(t - 2)², with constant negative acceleration

Cx = 6 - 2t², with constant positive acceleration

Dx = 0, with no motion because first and last positions match

Solution & Explanation:The data are symmetric about t=2 s with a maximum x=8 m, matching x = 8 - 2(t - 2)². This is a downward-opening parabola, so acceleration is constant and negative.
