Design Challenge: Build a Roller Coaster.  Displacement – measures the change in position of an object, using the starting point, ending point, and noting.

Motion SWBAT define speed and acceleration; relate acceleration to change in speed; calculate distance, speed, and acceleration.

 How does hill height affect velocity?  How does loop size affect velocity?  How does mass affect velocity?  How does the number of loops affect velocity?

Acceleration. Acceleration – The rate at which velocity changes Results from a change in speed and direction Acceleration = change in velocity = Δv timet.

Velocity Explain why we say all 3 cars are changing their velocity.

What is acceleration? – Probably heard it mean: “the process of speeding up” – More specifically: the rate at which velocity changes. Remember that velocity.

Motion and Forces Learning Target: I will be able to understand acceleration of an object and understand a velocity-time graph Student can analyze.

Presentation transcript:

Paper Roller Coaster Lab Students used textbook covers and tape to construct roller coasters for marbles. The roller coasters had to have at least one hill and one turn.

Roller Coasters Used in the Lab The six sturdiest roller coasters were used in a lab. Students measured time, distance, and displacement. Then they calculated speed and velocity. Finally, students were asked to explain their results and draw conclusions about the relationship between distance, displacement, speed, and velocity.
