Motion Detector Lab

Today I worked with Maya and Emma to make motion detector graphs I think you can use the equations we worked with on Thursday to connect the axes because they are using the same elements that we used such as velocity, acceleration etc. and you can se those equations to create points on a graph. Yes you can have zero acceleration and posotive gravity because if you are staying a constant speed you have velocity but because your speed does not differ you have no acceleration.

Good observation. It is a common misconception that if you're moving you must be accelerating, but you're right. You can have zero acceleration with a constant speed.
