What This Document Is
This document is a completed lab assignment for Florida International University’s General Physics Laboratory I (PHY 2048L), specifically Lab One: Graph Matching, submitted by student Maria M. Diaz Alonso on September 5, 2020, to Professor Hugo Perez. It consists of answered preliminary questions and initial responses to a lab procedure.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in PHY 2048L. It serves as a record of completed pre-lab work, demonstrating understanding of the relationship between motion and graphical representation. It’s used for grading and to ensure students are prepared for the hands-on portion of the experiment.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document represents *one student’s* completed assignment. It is a sample solution and should not be used as a substitute for independent work or understanding of the underlying physics concepts. It only covers the preliminary questions and a partial response to the procedure.
What This Document Provides
The document includes:
* Answers to preliminary questions relating position vs. time graphs to different motion scenarios (at rest, constant speed positive/negative, accelerating).
* Answers to preliminary questions relating velocity vs. time graphs to different motion scenarios (at rest, constant speed positive/negative, accelerating).
* A sketched prediction and answer for Part I of the procedure, regarding the relationship between walking speed and the slope of a position vs. time graph.
* It does *not* include the full completed lab report, data collected during the experiment, or detailed analysis of Part II of the procedure. This preview only shows the pre-lab portion.
