10/31 600am These are my observations from the Moving Man simulator for Asst 4 Lab section

After experimenting with varying acceleration speeds and velocities, I found that as I suspected, the greater the acceleration rate, the greater the difference between the initial velocity and the final velocity. Looking at the graphs in the simulator between the Position, velocity, and acceleration vs. clock time, position and velocity showed increasing slope with respect to clocktime, however since acceleration was uniform, the slope of acceleration vs. clocktime remained constant at the value of the particular acceleration rate tested.

My results are as follows with initial velocity first, acceleration, and final velocity in comma delimited form. The positions were between 0m and 10m for each velocity tested. Low, Medium, and High values were .5, 1, and 5 (m/s for velocity and m/s^2 for acceleration.)
