In Vocabulary section: Kinematics: The study of Motion On new page in journal, write: “Unit 2: Kinematics Unit Outline”. Save this page for the Unit Outline, that will be handed out later.

Theme: How can we describe motion?

What “categories” of motion can you think of?

Tumble Buggy Lab On the page after your unit outline, write at the top: “Tumble Buggy Lab Requirements”. Reserve this page for a handout. On the page after Tumble Buggy Lab Requirements, write: “Tumble Buggy Pre-Lab.” Below that, write: “1. What do you observe?”

Tumble Buggy Lab Copy: “2. What could we measure and what would you measure it with?” Look for 3 things you could measure, relating to the car itself, or to its motion.

Tumble Buggy Lab Copy: “3. What relationships (investigative Q’s) could we study?”

Tumble Buggy Lab Copy: “3. What relationships (investigative Q’s) could we study?” Typical Q: “If I change __________, how would it affect _________________?”

Tumble Buggy Lab Possible Questions: if we change the speed of vehicle, how would it affect the dist. the cart travels? If we change the weight, how will it affect speed? If I change the surface, how will that affect the speed? If I change the time, how will that affect the distance traveled?

Tumble Buggy Lab Lab Design. Investigative Question: “If I change the time I allow the cart to travel, how will it affect the position that it reaches?”

Scenario 1 Car moves in + direction; Start timer when car has a position of 0.00m.

Lab Design Investigation Question: MV: Manipulated Variable. RV: Responding Variable. CVs: Control Variables. Hypothesis Procedure Diagram Data Table

Homework Make a scale drawing in Journal to find resultant of these vectors: d1: 65m at 153 degrees d2: 24m at 235 degrees d3: 67m at 290 degrees.
