In Phunsics, we were to set up a lab that would help us understand constant velocity. My group was obviously in some crazy mood, because we decided to track the velocity of one of our members running across the parking lot. Needless to say, the data was not constant, but that doesn't matter.
Procedure!
Since we're in the 21st century, we used an iPad equipped with the app, Video Physics to complete this lab. With all this fancy stuff, we were able to take a video of our runner running 36ft, which we already had measured out. With the app, we were able to trace our runner on the video, and have it analyzed for us. We came to the conclusion that our funner had a velocity of 1.125ft/sec.
An example of the Video Physics App:
