In the space provided on your paper: Using the terms distance, displacement, speed, velocity, motion and reference point complete a 1- minute summary of the story and picture below. Julian has entered his first go cart race and this is the track he will race on. Julian starts and ends at the red star or he is disqualified. Julian races and races around the track, and even though he does not win he puts up a respectable time of 1 hour.

Distance Length of a path between two points SI unit is Meters (m) What are some other units of distance?

Displacement Distance from starting point to end point in a straight line. Includes direction. Displacement is a vector- it has a size and direction. Same units as distance but includes direction. Ex: 5 miles East If a driver drives around a 5 mile course and ends at his starting point- what is his displacement? Distance?

Speed Ratio of distance/ time. Average speed= Total distance/ Total time Speed is not ever negative. Units of speed=SI- Meters per second, common- miles per hour

Velocity Velocity is a vector, it has both magnitude and direction. Velocity can be negative or positive depending on direction of motion. Velocity = DISPLACEMENT / Time SI Units- m/s

What is Velocity? Back to Top Velocity is the measure of the speed of the object in a specific direction. Velocity is a vector quantity so both the magnitude and the direction of the object are required to define the velocity of the object. The speed and velocity of an object are interrelated terms. To understand it better, consider the following example. An object is moving at, say, 50 m/sec in northwest direction. Here, 50 m/sec is the speed of the object in the northwest direction. And “50 m/sec” is the magnitude of the velocity while the "northwest" is the direction in which the object is moving.

As we know that velocity is speed of object in a particular direction. It is given that the rate of change of displacement with time. So the equation of velocity is:

Units are m/s (meters/seconds)

Project Guidelines New Mexico Vacation Project Guidelines: New Mexico Map must show highlighted routes taken (if visible on map) and clearly marked destinations You must visit FOUR points of interest to include: – A major university – A city you have never been to – A state or federal park/ national monument – A City that has a science history You may travel in any order

Your project must include the following: Student created data table that displays the following: Remember UNITS!!! – Distance from one destination to the next. (highway distance- you may use Google maps or MapQuest to find this) – Displacement from reference point to destination. (Displacement - use the created scale ruler for your map and draw straight lines from one location the next, estimate if necessary) – Time travelled from one destination to the next (using 60 miles per hour speed) – Velocity from reference point to destination (remember sign) Look this up – Total distance traveled from start to finish – Total displacement – Make sure to include evidence of calculations to show the time it takes to get from one location to the next assuming you are traveling at an AVG SPEED of 60 Miles per Hour, including total time travelled. Remind students to include the correct units. Map of New Mexico: – The map included in the final project should show the lines students have drawn to show displacement from one destination to the next. Each line should be straight and destinations clearly labeled. Graph of Distance vs. Time: Graph only represents driving time and does not take into consideration stopping. Use the distance and time data from the data table they generated.

Project Guidelines Category50250 Final Map Includes clearly labeled destinations, clearly drawn displacement vectors, compass included, information displayed correctly matches data Missing labels, route, compass and/ or is not legible. Most information is present. Information displayed correctly matches data Map does not show any routes or clear destinations, information does not match data Calculations/ Graph Units and labels are clearly displays, calculations are correct, correct use of distance and displacement for all calculations and graphs Missing some units or calculations, some errors in calculations or graph but most work is correct. Graph is not clearly displayed or incorrectly labeled. No/incorrect units No calculations provided Incorrect use of distance/ displacement/ speed No graph is present or does not represent data Data Table All information is displayed, (see requirements) all units are correct, all information is labeled and represented clearly on map and graph. Information missing or incomplete, missing units or labels. Data is not correctly displayed on graph or does not match. Not labeled No units Incomplete/ missing data Collaboration Evidence of all group members’ involvement is clear on project. Each member presents a portion of the project. Project does not show work from all group members or group member does not participate in presentation. No participation No evidence of work from student on project Unprepared No presentation Total (200) ____________
