9-1B Change in Velocity Activity


What to Do

1.
Time (s)
0
20
40
60
80
100
Velocity (m/s [forward])
11
16
18
18
14
11

2. (a) (+ 16 m/s) - (+ 11 m/s) = + 5 m/s
    (b) (+ 18 m/s) – (+ 16 m/s) = + 2 m/s
    (c) (- 18 m/s) – (+ 18 m/s) = 0 m/s
    (d) (- 14 m/s) – (+ 18 m/s) = - 32 m/s
    (e) (- 11 m/s) – (+ 14 m/s) = - 25 m/s


What Did You Find Out?

1. 0 s to 40s it was speeding up since it had a positive acceleration.

2. 60 s to 100s it was slowing down, because it had a negative acceleration.

3. 40 to 60s the velocity was zero, because each time intervals had the same velocity.
