Today we began our study on motion by taking a look at how motion is relative. We then explored two ways of measuring motion, velocity and acceleration. We will be spending quite a bit of time on acceleration in the coming weeks as it is key to much of Newton's Laws.
Homework for this week is:
Graph Data from Ramp Experiment and answer the following questions.
1. At what point on the ramp did the ball have the highest speed?
2. What would you estimate the speed of the ball to be if the ramp was long enough to allow the ball to travel for one more second.
3. What was the average speed of the ball for the entire ramp?
4. When was acceleration greatest or was it constant?
5. If it wasn't constant….why not?
6. What was the average acceleration of the ball for the entire ramp?
7. What would the acceleration be if the ramp was long enough to allow the ball to travel for one more second. (Estimate this using your graph.)
