Last week’s lecture was about distance, velocity, and acceleration. To have a better understanding of this topic we used a robot to make measurements and made calculations to see how distance, velocity, and acceleration affect one another.
We performed three trials, and tried different settings each time.
First Trial: Circumference – 0.0942, Power-75, Time-3sec,Rotation-2101, Distance-41inches, Number of wheel turns-5.83611,Computer’s Distance-0.549762, Velocity-0.18325.
Second Trial: Circumference-0.0942, Power-75,Time-1sec, Rotation-575,Distance-13inches,Number of wheel turns-1.50722,Computer’s Distance-0.15,Velocity-0.15.
Third Trial: Circumference-0.0942, Power-20, Time-2sec, Rotation-288,Distance-7inches,Number of wheel turns-0.8, Computer’s Distance-0.07536,Velocity-0.03768
After performing these three trials, it is clear that a minor change to any of the above written factors such as power, velocity and so on will affect the rest of the components of the equation.
