1. Newton’s Notions

2. Consider this.
A car begins at the start line traveling at a speed of 20 feet/second for 3 seconds.
Then it goes 30 ft./sec. for the next 2 ½ seconds.
Next, its speed changes to 25 ft./sec. for 4 seconds.
And then it goes 40 ft./sec. for 3 ½ seconds to the finish line.
TASK #1: Make a table of the travel data and show how far the car should travel during each second of the journey.
TASK #2: Make a line graph to show the distance traveled by the car during each second of its journey.

3. Key Questions: Answer these in order.
How far did the car travel during the first 3 seconds?
How far did the car travel during the next 2 ½ seconds?
How far did the car travel during the next 4 seconds?
How far did the car travel during the last 3 ½ seconds?
What was the total distance that the car traveled?
What was the total length of time that the car traveled?
What was the average speed for the car during the trip?
What does the steepness of the different parts of the line graph mean?

4. TASK #1: Measure how long it takes a ball to roll 3 meters when released at the 100-cm. mark on the ramp.
TASK #2: Measure how long it takes a ball to roll from the 3-meter mark to the 6-meter mark when it is release at the 100-cm. mark on the ramp.
TASK #3: Measure how long it takes a ball to roll 3 meters when released at the 50-cm. mark on the ramp.
TASK #4: Measure how long it takes a ball to roll from the 3-meter mark to the 6-meter mark when it is release at the 50-cm. mark on the ramp.
