In part 2 of unit 2, we continued kinematics. This time instead of a "Position Versus Time" graph, we used a "Velocity Versus Time" graph. We learned 2 very important rules when dealing with velocity versus time graphs which were that the curve of a velocity versus time graph would show acceleration and that the areas under the curve are the distances traveled over the relative time. To show this, we did a lab involving a distance sensor (shown in the picture below) where we tried to match different shapes on a position versus time graph and then created a velocity versus time graphs to accompany them.
