    1) A student dropped a panel from a height of approximately 5 meters and recorded its motion using a smartphone video camera. From the position-time data, the student created a velocity-time graph. 2) The velocity-time graph shows the motion of the panel until it reached the floor. It will be used to calculate the maximum acceleration of the panel and sketch an acceleration-time graph. 3) To check the reliability of the results, the student can repeat the experiment multiple times and compare the measurements and calculations.
