Exercise 2: Plotting Rotational Velocity

2. The IOLab unit is packed with sensors. The Excel file rotation_data contains a subset of the data, ω(t), collected while the IOLab unit was in motion.

a) Plot ω(t).

b) Describe, specifically, how the IOLab unit was moving during the time this set of data was collected.

c) Use the ω(t) data to calculate (as best you can), the number of revolutions the IOLab made while rotating in one direction.

Discuss your results with your lab instructor.
