Edible Race Cars Thurs and Friday

Task:   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 should be done today.

Turn in the Map My Run assignment

Fill out this FORM individually


Variable identification practice.   Yesterday, I checked with your group on the worksheets that were available earlier in the week.  On the board by the clock are the examples for three of them.

Today, we're using a book.  (I know, tough to believe) that is on the front bookshelf.   The cover looks something like this.

Task:   Copy the motion formulas on a notecard to be placed into your calculator or binder  (they are listed below and on the board)  

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)

FOR EACH PROBLEM or PROBLEM PART include

a) the variables  identified (must include 3)

d
v(i)
v(f)
a
t

b) a formula

c) a solution WITH PROPER LABELING (m, m/s, ft/s/s, etc.)


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
