Watch Video
Draw a motion map for both the squirrel and man.
Sketch a graph of their motions be sure to include all key points.
What would a "motion map" look like?
ReplyDeleteI am also very confused
DeleteI watched the video and realize we're supposed to be graphing the squirrels speed against the man's speed. But I'm unsure of what a motion map is and how to make one.
ReplyDeletei watched the video too and im also unsure of what a motion map would look like
ReplyDeleteYou would have two dots, (Different colours or different graphs) and show that one dot is faster than the other using dot placement and arrow size
ReplyDeleteAnd since we don't have exact measurements in the video could we make a graph with different measurements but to scale?
DeleteSimilar to what Connor mentioned, should we just estimate, but we make it almost the same as to what the video shows since we don't have exact measurements. Also, is this on a separate piece of paper?
Deletewhat is a motion graph?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused on what numbers we are suppose to do for hw.

i know we already went over the motion graph in class, but do we have to do anything else for the above post?
ReplyDeleteCould you consider 5a not to be to scale? Because it doesn't give an exact measurement just a picture.

I have a question about the displacement and odometer ws. We were told to calculate everything from the origin, but if you calculate from the origin then wouldn't the displacement and odometer be the same as long as the graph has a constant slope?
ReplyDeleteMod 4
No in the first graph how far would the person travel if they were at the same position the entire time. The distance would =0. The displacement would not. I would further reccomend after thinking further that we define the displacement as strictly a change in position, not necesserly from the Origen. So for the first one the displacement would be 0 as well. So if the displacement is the change in position the only time they will be the same is when the change from the start to end is the same...
ReplyDeleteokay, that makes more sense. thank you!
ReplyDeleteAre you going to check our labs in class from walk the walk since you never checked Alen's and mine
ReplyDeleteI have a last-minute question on the motion maps. When a person or object comes to a stop, does each dot represent 1 second that the object is staying still. Also, what is the difference between the A and B requirements for the studying.
ReplyDeletefor example, 1.5 is A and 1.7 is B
ReplyDeleteWhy are there two equations for the final position for the slow and fast car on the work sheet?
ReplyDelete-Madison Hull
On the post lab worksheet, the two tables say both the cars start at a position of 0.00 m. If they have the same frame of reference, wouldn't that mean they start at the same place? Based on that, wouldn't that also mean they never cross paths because they have different velocities?
