Abstract

Experiments have been carried out "motion of a particle under constant velocity where the
first activity, using the 3 members of a group to walk across the track with a different treatment, and a
second activity using GLB tube. In this experiment aims to understand the difference between distance
and displacement, can determine the velocity and average speed, can determine the relationship
between displacement and takes about the motion of a particle under constant velocity (GLB), and can
understand the motion of a particle under constant velocity (GLB). In activity 1 using 3 practitioner to
traverse a path with a different treatment. This activity can be calculated how much time it takes to
traverse each praktikan a track with a constant speed but the steps used every different practitioner, the
practitioner first through path by stepping without any distance, practitioner second step with a rather
large distance, and the third practitioner move with greater distance. While in the second activity, will
count the time it takes the bubble to move from the starting point to the end point, with a certain
height. From these experiments it can be concluded that the relationship is inversely proportional to
speed of and time, where the faster the speed of an object, the time needed to traverse a path the less,
as well as the higher path that will be passed to an object, the time he needs to be more longer / lot.

2. Able to determine the velocity and average speed

EXPERIMENTAL METHODS
Short Theory
The object is said to move if the object changed position to a reference point
moving object going through a path with a certain length in a certain time the total
length of the path traversed is called the distance, while large changes in the position
of the object from the initial position to position the end of the so-called
displacement. Distance is a scalar quantity, whereas the amount of displacement is a
vector.
Objects said motion of a particle under constant velocity (GLB) if the object is
moving on a straight path and move at a constant speed or no speed change with time,
so the acceleration is zero. velocity is defined as the change in the position at any
time or in mathematical form is written:
x
v =
t

While the speed is great distance unit time or in the form of written mathematical
x
v= t

v : Velocity(m/s)

x: Displacement (m)

t: Time (s)
v: Speed (m/s)
x: Distance (m)

Identification of Variables
Activity 1
1. Variable Manipulation: distance (s) = cm
2. Variable control: velocity (v) = m / s
3. The response variables: time (t) = s
Activity 2
1. The manipulated variable: s = distance (cm)
2. The control variables: height h = (cm)
3. Variable response: t = time (s)
Operational Definition of Variables
Activity 1
1. Variable manipulation is a variable that is altered during practicum. In this lab
activity, the variable that changed was the distance.
2. The control variable is a variable that is controlled at the time of trial. In the first
activity in this lab, it is a variable velocity control, because at the time these
activities practitioner crossing the same distance with different treatment
practitioner first instance running at a constant speed past the path AB m
distances. Then practicioner both slow walk past the path AB with m distance,
and the third practitioner running footsteps larger than the second practicioner.
3. The response variables are variables that follow the variable manipulation. That
is, when the variable manipulation altered the response variable is also changing.
In the first activity in this lab, which includes control variables are time.
Activity 2
1. The manipulated variable is the variable that changed. The variables are altered in
these two activities is the distance (s)
2. The control variable is a variable that is always controlled at the time of practical
activities. In these two activities including control variables, namely altitude,
because this activity there are 3 heights used with 4 distances traveled by the
bubble.
3. The response variables are variables that follow the variable manipulation,
manipulation means that when a variable is changed, the response variable is also
changing. In this second activity is the control variable is the time (t).
Laboratory Procedures
Activity 1
1. Make three points A, B, C which can form a right triangle!
2. Measure the length of any path between the two points by using a meter available.
3. Prepare your 3 friends, as objects to be moving at different speeds.
4. For the first person, standing at point A and then walk towards point B. At the
same time measuring the time to travel the path from A to B. Do the same for the
path from A to B to C.
5. Perform each activity 4 3 times for each person.
6. Continue to the second and third record the result in the table observations!
Activity 2
1. Take a stand for the tube GLB and drape one end of the tube
2. Mark a minimum of 4 points as points A, B, C, and D on the tube (try to have the
same interval).
3. Determine / measuring the length of a basic tube (0 cm) to point A, to point B, to
point C, and to the point D.
4. Hang one end of the tube on a stand at a certain height, start from a height of
about 5 cm from the bottom / base.
5. Lift the other end of the tube, so that the bubble in the tube at the end of the shot.
6. Lower the tip had reached the base / pads so that the bubble will move up,
measure the time it takes the bubble to reach point A (start the stopwatch when the
bubble right across at position 0 cm on the tube), do it 3 times for each distance
measurement the travel
7. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6, with different distances (from O to point B, to C, and to
point D)
8. Record your observations in the table observations!

DISCUSSION
Motion of a particle under constant velocity is the motion of a body in a
straight line at a constant velocity. Velocity is the velocity vector is equal to the
displacement unit time. Moving object going through the track with a certain length
in a certain time. The number of the path traversed an object called a distance, the
change in position of an object from the starting point to the end point then called
displacement velocity is distance traveled per unit time of an object, while velocity is
the speed of the unit of time. As at 1 practicum this activity, there are 3 practcioner
that will traverse a path that is the same but with a different velocity, but with a
constant speed. Of activity 1 is obtained the greater its speed, the travel time is used
less and less. In the second activity, which is observed is the movement of a bubble in
the tube GLB while taking a path from point 0 to the point D. In this activity, the time
taken by the bubbles to reach the point that last a long time, because the motion of the
bubbles is affected by height, then upward motion (slowed).
CONCLUSION:
1. uniform straight motion is the motion of an object in a straight line, with constant
velocity.
2. Distance is the length of the path traversed objects
3. Displacement is change in position of the object from the starting point to the end
point.
4. Speed is the object through which the path length per unit time
5. Speed is the displacement of an object per unit of time
6. The relationship between the displacement of the travel time is inversely
proportional uniform rectilinear motion, because the greater the displacement of a
body, the less travel time.
