Introduction
For this project, my group and I were assigned with the task of correlating two variable to determine something about a person based off of how they walk. We decided to figure out how to find someones weight based on the total G-Force of they steps. to do this we attached a phone with the physics toolbox app to three places on each of our group members legs. This app is able to monitor the G-Force in every direction that our legs moved. We each walked a distance of 200 inches to get an accurate depiction of our walking G-Force.

Reflection
My group and I have good chemistry and work very well together which helped this project go as well as it could. Even though we worked well together this project turned out to be much harder than we assumed. the main reason for this difficulty was the sheer amount of data that we got. the app took a reading of G-Force every millisecond meaning that for the everyone's 200 inch walk there was hundreds of data readings that we had to go through in order to find a correlation. We became worn out and annoyed after looking at spreadsheets everyday and it didn't help that one of our members was always missing because they were working with the mentors. When we finally were able to aggregate the data from each collection and came to the realization that the heavier and lighter a person is the more G-Force the create with each step, the moral was raised. This project was very interesting to think about because walking is such a normal thing that we don't really think about. I still wish that we didn't have to do this project and instead could have just worked on our capstone project.
