Abstract
Motion is a change in position of an
object with respect to time. Motion of a body
is observed by attaching a frame of
reference to an observer and measuring the
change in position of the body relative to
that frame. Kinetics in human motion is
measuring the rates of motion of a person
and his reaction time. Reaction time varies
from person to person and another
assumption in this experiment is that, the
longer the time the person walks, the
smaller the distance of each steps made.

Introduction
In physics and engineering, kinetics is a
term for the branch of classical mechanics
that is concerned with the relationship
between the motion of bodies and its causes,
namely forces and torques. Since the mid20th century, the term "dynamics" (or
"analytical
dynamics")
has
largely
superseded "kinetics" in physics textbooks;
the term "kinetics" is still used in
engineering.
In plasma physics, kinetics refers to the
study of continua in velocity space. This is
usually in the context of non-thermal (nonMaxwellian) velocity distributions, or
processes that perturb thermal distributions.

2. Theory
As mentioned, objectives include the
determination of a displacement versus time
graph and a velocity versus time graph for
both a uniform motion and uniformly
accelerated motion. Uniform motion implies
a situation where the speed is constant, or
does not change. This means that no
acceleration is happening, and that the speed
remains the same at all time and time
intervals. Uniformly accelerated motion
implies a situation where the speed is now
increasing at a constant rate. This means that
there is a constant acceleration, thus
increases velocity and displacement through
time.

3. Methodology
The materials used in this experiment
include a meter stick, timer and a Vernier
Logger Pro. First, a position versus time
graph was presented on the computer screen.
The goal was to move in such a way that the
graph of ones motion matched to it. This
was done by moving to and fro with a
cardboard in front facing the sensor.
Forward motion resulted to a downward
line, while a backward motion gave an
upward one. Next, in the graphical analysis
of motion, one from the group walked in a
straight line for a total of 10 seconds. The
distance traveled per second was marked
and measured using a meter stick. The
instantaneous velocity at the end of each
time interval was computed as well as the
total displacement and average velocity. On
the last activity, a meter stick was held
vertically at the zero mark with the thumb
and index finger positioned at the 50cm
mark. It was then caught immediately as
soon as it was dropped. Reaction time was
then computed, with the height as the
distance between the 50cm mark and the
point where it was caught.
4. Results and Discussion

Graph 1 and table 1 show the total
displacement the student travelled in a
straight line within 10 seconds. It was
observed that as time increased, the
displacement per step relatively decreased.

5. Conclusion
The kinetic energy of an object is the energy
that it possesses due to its motion. Having
gained this energy during its acceleration,
the body maintains this kinetic energy unless
its speed changes because reaction time
