Today we put our knowledge of constant velocity to the test in the form of a challenge problem. Students worked with a partner to solve two challenge problems, then they tested their predictions with the buggies. If your prediction was accurate, you won a physics buck. If not, better luck next time!
Tomorrow is a quiz. You should be familiar with position vs. time graphs - know how to determine displacement and distance (know the difference), how to determine average velocity and average speed. Be able to sketch a velocity vs. time graph from a position vs. time graph. Be able to interpret a motion map (you will not have to draw one). Also be able to solve straight-forward problems like we have practiced in class.
