Physics+20-Kinematics-3

Students will describe motion in terms of displacement, velocity, acceleration and time. 1. Define, qualitatively and quantitatively, displacement, velocity and acceleration. 2. Define, operationally, and compare and contrast scalar and vector quantities. 3. Explain, qualitatively and quantitatively, uniform and uniformly accelerated motion when provided with written descriptions and numerical and graphical data 4. Interpret, quantitatively, the motion of one object relative to another, using displacement and velocity vectors 5. Explain, quantitatively, two-dimensional motion in a horizontal or vertical plane, using vector components. A) RESOURCEFULNESS: Using Google Earth, or Google Map describe your path to school. First using distance, and then using displacement. Create your own page and publish a picture with a legend showing the distance and the displacement of your commute. (Name the page--> School Commute: (your name) ) (Complete task +8 points for Formulation) Include a discussion page, where I can record your points. +5 points to verify (refute or accept) another person's calculations.    B) What is the fastest man made object?(+2 formulation) C)    Using displacement and distance, describe how a wormhole could possibly time warp?

=== E) Create a kinematics question, and provide a solution. E-mail the question and solution to me. I will post the questions, and whoever has a question that proves to be the most challenging will receive +10 for cleverness. For every original question, students will receive +5 for cleverness, and for every found question (taken from a site) you will receive +2 Resourcefulness). ===
