Kinematics 2: Testing Reaction Time
Question:
Can you catch my $20 bill when I drop it through your open fingers? Purpose: To calculate reaction time based on a falling object. Common Core Standards:
Materials Required:
Procedure: We are going to measure the distance the index card falls before your partner can catch the falling object.
Lab Report: The work which is documented in a lab notebook should be clear enough that others can follow it, understand it and if necessary, repeat the experimental procedure so as to verify the results. It is a public record which is documented with the expectation that others could understand it. The ability to thoroughly document and to keep clear, understandable records of one's work is a key skill that the professional scientist must develop. Your lab report will include the following
