Ranking Task

Rank the acceleration from greatest to least. Ties are possible. Explain

0 - 3____ 3 - 6____
6 - 8____ 8 - 9____

 

Describe the Acceleration Below

 

Review  

Describe the motion


 

Slope: =

 

d/t = vel.

velocity is constant +

 

3.  a = 0 (vel. not changing)

 

 

Ex)

d (cm)

1. y changes:

 

2. Slope: =

 

 

Answers

1. Y changes:

 

d constant

2. Slope:

 

d/t = v   

v = 0

 

 

Ex)

 

1. y changes:

 

2. Slope: =

 

 

Answers

1. Y changes: d inc.

2. Slope: d/t = v

V is increasing

3. Constant accel.

(smooth increase of v)

 

 

 

Ex)

1. y changes:

 

 

2. Slope: =

 

 

Answers

1. Y changes: d inc.

2. Slope: d/t = v

V is increasing

3. Not Constant acceleration

 

Ex)

1. y changes:

 

 

2. Slope: =

 

 

Answers

1. y changes:

increasing v

2. Slope:

 v/t = a

acceleration is constant +

 

   

Ex)

1. y changes:

 

 

2. Slope: =

 

 

Answers

1. y changes: decreasing v

2. Slope: v/t = a

acceleration is constant and neg.
