Physics in Movement

Today was a rather easy day, as we all took our seats we waited for Mr. Manning to hand back the quiz from the day before. Since i was absent the day before, i did not take this quiz. After going over the quiz we began with a daily question. What is this graph trying to say? The object is standing still without any motion What does the y-intercept mean? The zero is when the it had started



We do not know where the reference point was in this graph

This is a VT graph, its velocity over time.

With about 20 mins. left in class we finished up the Matchup and Rounding!! lab. It was a fairly easy lab, we had these censers that could measure our distance and how fast we could get to a certain distances. We would figure out where we start, how we must move and which directions we move. the toughest part of this lab was walking back a forth to get the times and distance right, to match the graph we are trying to recreate.
