12. Speed vs Velocity Example
At a CB South track meet, Pat competes in the 1600m (4 laps of the 400m track). Pat completes the first lap of the race in 60.0 seconds, the second lap in 62.0 seconds, the third lap in 73.0 seconds, and the last lap in 65.0 seconds. Compute Pat’s average speed or average velocity (whichever has relevance in this problem). Now compute the answer in miles per hour.

13. POD
Its 3rd and 7 in the last minute of the 4th quarter. Eagles 21, Native Americans 17. Washington is on the Eagles 25 yard line. RG3 takes the hike, and backs up to the 30, fires a pass right over the middle to the newly acquired Jackson. The pass is beautifully thrown, so that even a Physics teacher could catch it. After the catch, Jackson is hit so hard his eyes just about pop out and he is brought down at the 20 yard line. The entire play takes 3.50 seconds. Compute the displacement and average velocity for the play. Show all steps!

Determine equation of line or curve.
Explain, illustrate relationship.
Take a PLQ, or write a report. Or, write your own report during the lab, then the PLQ is open report!

17. What is the mathematical relationship between the displacement (m) and duration (s) for the jeep while it moves at a constant speed?
-The (change of) position of the jeep is directly proportional to (the change of) time, as shown by the equation: x(t) = 0.443t This means that the jeep will change position twice as much in twice the change in time. -For example, if the jeep moved from the origin to position A by time t, then it would move to position 2A by time 2t. This is because the jeep moved with a constant …

18. What is the mathematical relationship between the displacement (m) and duration (s) for the cart that starts from rest and gains speed?

19. What is the mathematical relationship between the displacement (m) and duration (s) for the cart that starts from rest and gains speed?
-The (change of) position of the cart is exponentially proportional to (the change of) time (with an exponent of 2), as shown by the equation:
x(t) = t t
-This means that the cart will change position four times as much in twice the change in time (if it starts from rest).
-For example, if the cart moved from the origin to position A by time t, then it would move to position 4A by time 2t. This is because the cart ….

20. Post Lab Questions: Which vehicle moved farther in 1.5 seconds?
Which vehicle moved faster in the 1.5 seconds?
What is the mathematical relationship between velocity (m/s) and time (s) for…
The jeep?
The cart?

21. What is the mathematical relationship between…
Velocity (m/s) and time (s) for a cart , if it starts from rest at x=0.0m at t=0.0s and rolls down a hill?

22. How to Get velocity from an x-t graph:
Hold cart 0.5m from the detector. From the Experiment menu, select zero. Click collect, release the cart about 1 second later. Does the graph look as though your car started from rest at t=0.0s? If not, re-do
From the ANALYZE menu, select tangent. Position the cursor at no fewer than 10 times along the curved section. Record these times and velocity values neatly in a table on WB.
In the Data Menu, select New Manual Column – make this column velocity in m/s. Enter data. Switch the name of the vertical axis to velocity. Shade the portion with the clear pattern. Analyze the new graph.

24. What is the mathematical relationship between the velocity (m/s) of a cart and time (s), if the cart started from rest at x=0.0m at t=0.0s and rolled down a hill?

25. What is the mathematical relationship between the velocity (m/s) of a cart and time (s), if the cart started from rest at x=0.0m at t=0.0s and rolled down a hill?
The cart’s velocity is directly proportional to time, as shown by v(t) = t
This means that if you wait twice as long, the cart will be going twice as fast.
For example, If a child on a sled reaches a speed of 2m/s 5 seconds after starting down a hill, then the child will reach 4m/s by 10s.
