Common grph commnds include zoom nd uoscle. If you cn see your d (he grphs pper blnk) or he d is fl line zero you probbly need o djus he grph scling. Sr wih Auoscle from 0, hen zoom-in or djus he es.

2 Eperimen I 1-D Kinemics The d collecion for his nd mny oher lbs use LoggerPro sofwre opering riey of sensors conneced o LbPro inerfce. This week s sensor is Vernier Moion Deecor 2. I mesures posiion by emiing pulses of sound nd mesuring he ime unil he refleced sound reurns (like rdr bu wih sound wes). You will her clicking sound when d collecion begins. The deecion zone eends bou o eiher side of he is of he bem s cenerline. If some oher objec or body pr ges inside his cone i will be deeced insed of he rge. A shrp chnge in he posiion d my be due o his. The posiion deecor cn mesure n objec only wihin he rnge 15 cm - 6 m. The deecor folds open so h he deecor cn be imed. Opening he deecor reels sensiiiy swich wih cr nd norml (person/bll) seings. Selecing he pproprie seing will gie beer d. The deful is for he posiion deecor o be he origin or he zero poin of n is wih he posiie direcion wy from he deecor. The only hing h is direcly mesured is posiion wih respec o he deecor s funcion of ime; he LoggerPro sofwre clcules he elociy nd ccelerion from he posiion d. This increses he noise in deried lues like ccelerion. Aciiy 1 Pu he deecor ino he firs seup: mesuring he cr on he rck. Open he file 1-D Kinemics #1 ; his file will iniilize some prmeers nd prepre grphs. Leel he rck so h he cr remins moionless or nerly moionless on he rck. Try undersnding he grphs for some smple moions. In priculr, mke sure you cn eplin he feures of he () grph nd how i reles o he () nd () grphs. The following re emples of siuions you cn ry: The cr ress moionless some disnce from he deecor. Afer d collecion srs, p he cr so h i moes slowly wy from he deecor. Cn you idenify when he p sred nd when i ended? Push he cr sedily o ge roughly consn ccelerion (difficul). Push he cr bck nd forh o ge oscillory moion.

Rise one end of he rck o be bou 6 cm boe he oher. Plce he deecor he lower end nd he cr ner he higher end nd relese he cr. 2. Pu he deecor he higher end, wih he cr lso ner he higher end, nd relese he cr. 3. Wih he deecor he higher end, sr wih he cr ner he lower end nd p i so h i rolls owrds he deecor, sops before hiing he deecor nd hen rolls bck.
