Hi folks,
Today we took a look at motion, velocity and acceleration. We also did a lab where we measured the velocity and acceleration of a ball on a slope.
Homework for this week is to:
Read in the Conceptual Physics book pages, 10 - 16 and 21-23
Graph Data from Ramp Experiment
I'd like 3 graphs.
1. Feet as the horizontal axis and speed as the vertical
2. Feet as the horizontal axis and velocity as the vertical
3. Seconds as the horizontal axis and distance as the vertical
Answer the following questions:
1. When did the ball have the highest speed?
2. What would the speed of the ball 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.
Remember you have 3 assignments this week, reading, graphs and questions from the email. Let me know if you have any questions.
