| <--------> one section of fence can be used to help estimate the displacement. |
Today we will walk outside to measure the average velocity of skytrain. FInd the length of one section of fence and then multiply that number to establish an initial position and a final position .
Take a video of skytrain and, using screenshots, label the di and the df . Determine the displacement and the elapsed time.
Calculate average velocity = displacement/elapsed time
1. Draw a picture or cartoon which describes the motion of the train. Label the fence, the train and the section of the fence.
2. Write down your data including the di, the df, the displacement and the elapsed time
3. Calculate the velocity and show your work. What is the average velocity in m/s ?
4. convert the velocity from metres per second to km per hour
5. hand in your work on a piece of paper
Evaluation: /20
18-20. Your data is organized in screenshots and drawings on a paper, a word document or jpeg format. Your cartoon describes the motion. Your work is organized and calculations are correct. Your work is exceptional in communicating your data
14-17. Your data is organized in screenshots and drawings on a word document or jpeg format. Your cartoon describes the motion. Your work is organized and calculations are correct. Very well done
10-13. Your data is really good and you make a good start on the assignment. It needs a little more drawing or picture documentation of the data that you are presenting
0-10. This is a good start but it is not complete
