4 If you have any questions, please reach out to your friendlylibrary here for the LibGuide for this AssignmentsUnit I AssignmentConceptual ExperimentPurpose: To visualize the relationship between displacement, velocity, and time through graphical fundamental job of physics is to describe the motion of an object. In order to do this, you need basic elements such asdisplacement, velocity, and time to depict it. In this activity, you will investigate how constant-paced linear motion is depictedand how you can calculate the velocity. First, practice using the worksheet with the sample problem below. Click here toaccess the Unit I Assignment worksheet for this the example problem, let us use a simple case. Let us assume that you are walking from your house at a constant pacefor 100 seconds to get to the 100 meter-mark, and you come back to your house at the same click on the following link for a video with detailed instructions on how to plot the relation between time and distanceand how to obtain the , N.
