Relative Motion
The purpose of this lab is to study motion relative to a moving reference frame. The velocity of a Smart Cart, as measured by the cart's motion sensor, is not the same as the velocity reported by a Motion Sensor mounted to a second Smart Cart with a Smart Cart Motor attached. The relative velocity is measured by the Motion Sensor and compared to the expected value.
