Assignment P10
Results 3
The purpose of this assignment is to finish writing the Results section of your project. You will also learn how to calculate the body center of mass location (COM) and create center of mass graphs.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Calculate center of mass. Calculate the COM for both A and B movements and create the COM figures using the Excel chart wizard (fig10a and fig10b).
2. Write caption for Figure 10. Write the figure caption for Figure 10 in your "results1" document.
3. Incorporate Figure 10. Copy fig10a and fig10b into "results1."
4. Write the Linear Kinematics section. Write the "Linear Kinematics" section of the Results according to the instructions provided in the Project Requirements document. The Linear Kinematics section includes three subsections: 1) Linear displacement, 2) Linear velocity, and 3) Center of mass.
5. Backup files. Remember to make backups on each team member's ZIP disk.
6. Copy to facilitator's disk. Have your facilitator copy your most up-to-date ZIP disk to their disk.
