Terms to know:
position time velocity acceleration speed |
Standard
P2.2A Distinguish between the variables of distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. |
Directions:
1. Use the activity sheet in class (or you can print here if you are at home) to explore the velocity of the car. You need to know that when the car moves to the right it is moving positively and the left is negative.
2. Complete the Name that Motion Activity as many times as required until you get it right. Keep track of the number of your trials and report them when completed and submit your data sheet for a grade.
3. You may work on your own or in pairs.
