More about non-constant motion

As we continue to investigate various "kinds" of motion, we're going to look a little deeper into what happens when the motion is constantly changing.

Today you'll need to design another experiment that investigates this constantly changing motion, and we'll be using video analysis to collect data this time.

Remember to follow the usual experimental procedures (including lots of pictures) - we'll be compiling our findings later.  (If you want more suggestions on what sort of documentation you'll need to produce, review CANVAS assignments #4 and #5  (pendulum motion and the buggies))
