Station #1- Distance vs Displacement



Station #1- Distance vs DisplacementHow are distance and displacement different?Provide an example that demonstrates displacement and distance.The arrows in this picture demonstrate distance and displacement. How far of a distance do you travel? How far of a displacement do you travel?Station #2- VectorsWhat is a vector?Which descriptions of motion are considered vectors? What makes them vectors?Provide an example of a situation where you would add two parallel vectors together that are going in the same direction.Provide an example of a situation where you would add two parallel vectors together that are going in a different direction.Add the vectors together for all three practice problems. Explain the steps involved in adding two vectors that are perpendicular to eachother.Explain the steps involved in adding these two vectors together. Station #3- SpeedWhat two measurements go into calculating speed?Explain how speed and velocity are different.Using the data below, calculate the average speed of the TV as it’s being dropped.Object and MotionDistanceTime 1Time 2Time 3Three 50kg TVs dropped from a 100m tower 3 times100m5.07s4.93s5.0sWhat is the speed of a boat that is traveling 100 meters in 120 seconds?Calculate the speed of a dog running through a field if he is covering 23.7 meters in 54 seconds.What are two possible units you might use when recording speed?How do you find the speed from a distance vs. time graph?Station #4- VelocityWhat is velocity?Describe three types of changes in velocity?Calculate the average velocity of each of these segments.from point A Point Bfrom point A Point Cfrom point A Point DTime (Minutes)from point A Point Efrom point A Point Ffrom point A Point GPointX (time)Y (Distance)“Origin”00Bowling Alley13Car Wash31D – Drug Store55E –Emergency Rm58F - Fair106G - Greenlake101Station #5- AccelerationWhat is acceleration?Describe three types of changes in acceleration?A rock falls from a cliff edge and accelerates due to gravity. What is the velocity of the rock after 5 seconds?Using the data below, calculate the average acceleration of a squid catching its’ prey. Object and MotionDistanceStarting VelocityEnding VelocityTimeSquid speeding up to catch prey100 m7 m/s47 m/ssecSuppose you plot the distance traveled by an object at various times and you discover that the graph is not a straight line. What does this indicate about the object’s acceleration?Station #6- Reading Graphs Describe what is happening in the distance vs. time graph. Describe what is happening in the distance vs. time graph.Describe what is happening in the distance vs. time graph.Station #7- Study PlanWrite down your plan for studying for the upcoming quiz. Use the questions below to help guide your answer.Where are you going to study? What are you going to work on first?How long are you going to study?What resources or materials will you use to study?What will you do when you don’t understand a topic well enough?Station #8- Ask Mrs. ZStation #9- Concept MapGroup these words into categories. In your notebook write your groupings and explain why you put them in those particular groupings. You may use one word in multiple groupings.
