9/14

Task 1:   You need to form groups of  2 to 3   This will be your team for the project.

Task 2:  Logger Pro and the world of motion.   Use a ramp and a cart to create a series of d-t and v-t graphs.  For each, you need to print the screen (one copy PER group), and then highlight 4 evenly-spaced time points on the v-t and d-t graphs.  For these, you will note the individual distances, velocities and times using the data chart to the right.   The setups include:

• a motion detector  at the top of a ramp, and a cart traveling down
• a motion detector at the bottom of a ramp and a cart traveling towards (but not hitting) the motion detector
• a motion detector attached to the ceiling and someone creating a vertical jump by standing, crouching, jumping, and then standing again
• a motion detector that is at the top of a ramp and a cart that is pushed up from the bottom, and then allowed to fall again.

Task 3:   Edible Race Cars.   Each member of your group must construct an entirely edible race car (except for 2 bamboo skewers, which may be used in any way desired).   The car will travel down a a ramp that has a motion detector at the top and must travel for 1 m.  Create a side view video of what is happening for each person using video.  THIS WILL BE DONE ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY.

Task 4:   Copy the motion formulas on a notecard to be placed into your calculator or binder.    Complete 7 of the 12 problems assigned by the teacher on pp. 82-83   (2, 35, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18)

d = v(i)t + 1/2at^2
d = t * [v(i) + v(f)] /2

v(f) = v(i) + at

v(f)^2 = v(i)^2 + 2ad
