Question
hellooo!! please help me plot the graph for these two trials and then find the slope
Physics Laboratory Experiment - Straight Line Motion At
Purpose:
In this experiment, the position of a bulldozer moving in a straight line is measured at
various times, to determine the bulldozer's speed.
Procedure:
1. Allow a toy bulldozer ton travel across
table top or the floor for a distance of 3 or 4
meter in a test run.
2. Place a tape measure or a series of meter sticks along the path of travel. Start the
bulldozer a few centimeters before the starting line. When the bulldozer reaches the
starting line, start keeping track of the time with a stop watch or sweep second hand.
3. Five seconds after the bulldozer crosses the starting line, record its position. Without
stopping the bulldozer, repeat this procedure at 5-second intervals. Enter all of the data in
the first column of the data chart,
4. Reduce the speed of the bulldozers by forcing it to drag a load behind as it traveſs.
Following the procedure above, record the position of the bulldozer at the end of each 5
second interval in the second column of the data chart.
5. Add heavier weights behind the bulldozer to reduce its speed further and record
position and time in the remaining columns of the data chart.

Data and Analysis:
1. For each trial, calculate the average speed, Vav, by dividing the total change in
position by the total time interval that elapsed, t.
2. Use the data for the first trial to plut a graph of position vs time.
3. On the same piece of graph paper, plot a graph of position vs time for each of the
other trials you ran. label each graph with the number of the associated trial.-
4. The shape of a position vs time graph for motion at constant speed is a straight line.
Do your graphs have this shape?
