TAKE HOME TEST (POSITION VS. TIME)

You may discuss questions on the blog, but you may not post answers.  The test is due the day we return from break.

12.22.14

Mod 3: Day 51: Buggy Analysis

Mod 4: Day 51: The Big Race

Mod 9: Day 51: Fix/Lab/Prac

Buggy Analysis: Work on slope, y-intercept and equation of the line for the lab, take quiz

The Big Race: Further analysis of graphs in terms of fastest, furthest, etc.

Squiggle Questions

1. What were the adjustments that had to be made in order to get the squiggle?

2. Draw your squiggle.  Identify the max and the min.  What is the pendulum doing at the max and the min?

3. Describe the slope with units.  Does the slope change?

4. Indicate 1 period on your squiggle.

5. What would it mean if the curve was taller?

6. What would it mean if the curves were squeezed together tighter?
