Objectives of this exercise For you to get your mind wrapped around the awesome content we will be studying this semester For you to begin to use physics vocabulary For you to ask interesting questions
Describing Motion As you watch, write down: The coolest thing you see. I won't let you down As you watch, write down: The coolest thing you see. What you wonder as you watch.
Describing Motion: Position and Time 3. Use the words “position” and “time” to describe the motion of the runners relative to one another. Usain Bolt Record 100 meter 2014
Describing Motion: Velocity Beast Mode What are you “struck” by in this video? 4. What catches your attention and makes you wonder? 5. Why do you think we picked this video for the velocity example?
