Kinematics activities

GO to http://www.mapmyrun.com and create an account, or use the app on a smartphone.

Make a public route that is at least 1 km (.6 mile long).
Walk the route by Monday and record the time for each leg (it should have at least 4 turns in it).
Share the public route with @mapowell via twitter or email.

Bring a completed diagram to class on MONDAY.

Seeing the patterns.

There are seven types of d-t graphs.

a) the object is not moving
b) the object is moving at a constant speed away from the origin
c) the object is moving at a constant speed towards the origin
d) the object is positively accelerating away from the origin
e) the object is negatively accelerating away from the origin
f) the object is positively accelerating towards the origin
g) the object is negatively accelerating towards the origin.


For each, please draw a d-t graph, a dot diagram, a v-t graph, and an a-t graph is if the acceleration is <> 0


================
Create four logger pro graphs using a car and a ramp

A:  The cart rolls down a ramp away from the motion detector

B:  The cart rolls down the ramp towards the motion detector

C: The cart is pushed up the ramp towards the motion detector, and then rolls back down.

D:  The car rolls down the ramp away from the motion detector, and then rolls on a level surface towards a second motion detector.
