In class, we experimented with number of shakes and intensity vs acceleration. My partner and I had performed a few tests to compare data. We had done multiple attempts, varying in numbers of shakes- for example,
we had collected data of 10 shakes vs. 15 shakes vs. 20 shakes to see the difference in results.
Here are a few photos documenting our process:
While this photo is a bit blurry, it shows our ending results in the form of a scatter plot chart.
This is the flashlight that acted as our ‘shake device’ or ‘shake generator’ and it’s connected to the robot which then connected to the computer in order to collect our data.
And finally, this is an excel spreadsheet of our recorded results in which we found, the more shakes performed, the higher number we’d receive in the results.
