Lab-2: The Moving Man
Topics: One-dimensional motion
For this lab, we will be using the simulation “The Moving Man”. You can download the simulation on the PhET website. When you click on the simulation, you will be given a choice to run it as a CreepJ application in a browser or download the Java version. To run the latter, you must have a recent version of Java installed on your computer. If you need help with this part, call UND IT help at 701 777 3560.
There are two sections: Introduction and Charts. We will be using both of them.
You are expected to incorporate the graphs from the simulation in your lab reports whenever possible.
For an introduction on how to use the simulation, please take a look at the video.
