Data Analysis

I used Logger Pro to track the position of the yo-yo linearly vs. time. I used three trials to increase accuracy.

After doing so, I made calculated columns for each that solved for the velocity (sqrt(vy^2+vx^2)

I then solved for the average velocity and used a linear fit on it in order to use the slope as the linear acceleration. Note, the acceleration is negative since the yoyo is going down.

For the rotational motion, I tracked the position and was able to find the velocity through the same means as before

With the graphs done and analyzed, I was able to move onto calculations.
