Experiment 2: Vector Addition Laboratory Report Inna Ysabelle H. Carpio, Titus Levi Y. Co, Isabella de Jesus, Julian Deabanico College of Rehabilitation Science, University of Santo Tomas Espana, Manila Philippines Abstract Experiment 3 is all about Kinematics. This experiment included three activities wherein the first activity included the sketching of displacement versus time graph and velocity versus time graphs of a person with uniform motion and uniformly accelerated motion and graph analysis. Activity 2 involves graph matching using the logger pro using a motion detector. Activity 3 involved getting the reaction time of each members through the use of a meter stick held vertically at the zero mark while the member position at the 50cm mark. Introduction Kinematics is the English Version of A.M. Ampere’s cinematique, which heconstructed from the Greek word, kinema which means movement or motion, derived from kinein which means to move. Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, bodies/objects and systems of bodies/groups of objects without consideration of the causes of motion. Displacement is a vector quantity for it conveys both magnitude and direction. The magnitude is the distance between the initial and final positions. Average Velocity is defined as the displacement divided by the elapsed time. Average velocity  Displacement/(Elapsed time) The velocity of a person confined to move along a line can point either in one direction or in the opposite direction. As with displacement, we use plus or minus to indicate two possible directions. If the displacement points in the positive direction, the average velocity is positive. Conversely, if the displacement points in the negative direction, the average velocity is negative. Acceleration is when the change in the velocity is
