To measure velocity over time, you will need to connect the input channel of the oscilloscope to a sensor that can measure velocity, such as a tachometer or accelerometer. Make sure to use the appropriate cables and settings on your oscilloscope for the sensor you are using.
The graph of v(t) on an oscilloscope shows the relationship between velocity and time. The vertical axis represents velocity and the horizontal axis represents time. The slope of the graph at any point represents the instantaneous velocity at that moment in time. The overall shape of the graph can also provide information about the acceleration and direction of the object being measured.
An oscilloscope can be used to measure v(t) for most objects, as long as there is a sensor that can accurately measure velocity. However, some objects may have a very high velocity that may be difficult for the oscilloscope to measure accurately. In these cases, it may be necessary to use a different type of instrument.
To adjust the scale of the v(t) graph on an oscilloscope, you will need to use the vertical and horizontal controls on the oscilloscope. These controls allow you to adjust the amplitude and time divisions of the graph, respectively. You may need to experiment with these controls to get the desired scale for your measurement.
While an oscilloscope is a useful tool for measuring v(t), it does have some limitations. It may not be able to accurately measure very high velocities or very small changes in velocity. Additionally, the accuracy of the measurement may be affected by external factors such as noise or interference. It is important to consider these limitations when using an oscilloscope for measuring v(t).
