Lab Report 8

This lab will be a very independent lab report, similar to that done in Lab 06, Conservation Theories, only now you will be using your own creative video project, which you have been developing all term long. Keep in mind that your video project must include the following:

Kinematics
Two-dimensional Vectors
Rotation.
If you cannot find examples of these three items in your video, you will need to revamp your video.

The lab report will be rather open ended, but you have seven examples from previous labs on how the report COULD flow. Below are specific requirements you need to meet in order to receive full credit. This lab report will be equally weighted between the physics you research and the spreadsheet analysis that you have used all term.

You must complete the following requirements to earn full credit:

Broad Criteria
(These must be met or the report will receive a zero grade):

500 words typed, not including graphs. (1point)

Physics Criteria
Your lab report must include a description of the physics involved in your video, with proper use of terminology, and an appropriate explanation of the relationships between the physics principles used in your video. (1 point)

Your lab report must include an independent research component, where you have investigated the applications of your video, in a broader sense. If you have taken a video of driving your car, you might include an investigation into car safety concerns, or if you took a video of you playing sports, you might consider the physics of professional sports. This portion must include TWO academic references. (2 points)

Spreadsheet Criteria
You must have at least two x-y scatter plots using any standard spreadsheet software (google sheets, Excel, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, etc.). (2 points)

Each graph must include proper naming of the axes, using physical variables (not x and y), with units, and the data must be spread out enough to visibly see a trend in the data points. (1 point)

Each set of data should have a best fit line which includes a correlation coefficient or some other statistical calculation as to the relationship between variables in each plot. (1 point)

A descriptive summary of the relationship between the variables in your data plots must be mentioned in the physics description mentioned above with appropriate use of scientific terminology (i.e. the force is inversely proportional to the distance, etc.). (1 point)

I have chosen to take a video of me backing my car out of the driveway for my video project. I have attached Lab 6 as an example for the structure of this lab. I have attached the data taken from Logger Pro Video Analysis to use for the graphs. NO plagiarism it will be checked through Turn it in.
