Activity 1. Table 1 Time (x axis) (seconds) Position (y axis) (meters) 0 0 5 20 10 40 15 50 20 55 30 60 35 70 40 70 45 70 50 55 . 0 5 10 15 20 30 35 40 45 50 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Train Time (s) Displacement (m) Questions for Activity 1 Question 1: What is the average speed of the train during the time interval from 0 s to 10 s? 4 m/s Question 2: Using the equation: v = s 2 s 1 t 2 t 1 , calculate the average speed of the train as it moves from position x = 50m to x = 60m. 0.6667 m/s Question 3: What does the slope of the line during each time interval represent?
The slope of the line represents the current speed of the train. Question 4: From time t = 35 s until t = 45 s, the train is located at the same position. What is slope of the line while the train is stationary? The line during this period is horizontal, representing an average speed of 0 m/s. Question 5: Calculate the average speed of the train as it moves from position x = 70m to x = 55m. What does the sign of the average velocity during this time interval represent? -3 m/s, which represents a reverse in direction of travel. Question 6: What is the displacement of the train from time t = 0s until t = 50s? 55 meters Question 7: What is the total distance traveled by the train from time t = 0s until t = 50s? 85 meters Question 8. What is the slope of the line during the time interval t = 45 to t = 50? The slope of the line is m = -3/1 Question 9: What does the sign of the slope in question 8 represent in terms of the motion of the train? The direction of the train has been reversed. Question 10: What is the average velocity of the train during the interval t= 0s to t = 50s? The average velocity of the train during the period in question is 1.7 m/s. Question 11: Does the train’s average velocity during the interval t= 0s to t = 50 s provide a complete picture of the train’s motion during this time? The average velocity does not provide a complete picture of the trains motion, due to the change in direction between the interval of t= 45s to t=50s. Activity 2. Calculate the velocity of a moving object.
