Question
You are driving along Lawrence Ave.
to speed up to try to make it through the intersection before it turns red (poor decision!). Your car
accelerates at 1.3 m/s?. You reach the light after accelerating for 4.3 seconds. What is your speed at
the light in m/s?
60 km/h. You see the traffic light ahead is still green and decide
V, =v, +aAt
A: Pictorial Representation
Sketch showing events, describe events, coordinate system, label givens & unknowns with symbols, conversions
B: Physics Representation
Motion diagram, motion graphs, velocity vectors, events
a
+x
t
t
C: Word Representation
Describe motion (no numbers),-assumptions, estimated result (no calculation)
D: Mathematical Representation
Describe physics of steps, complete equations, algebraically isolate, substitutions with units, final statement of prediction
E: Evaluation
Answer has reasonable size, direction and units? Why?
