Cambridge Secondary (7-9). Stage 8. MCE Science. Student Book - Unit 8: Forces and Motion - Question 34

In groups of five, carry out an experiment to measure the time taken for a person to move 50 m and plot a distance–time graph. You will need a tape measure, markers, masking tape, a notebook and a pen, graph paper and one or more stopwatches. Measure and mark the following distances on a straight flat track: 0 m, 15 m, 30 m, 40 m and 50 m.

Carry out the experiment and record the data. Then plot a distance–time graph.
