    for number 14 does it mean from the starting point or end

    What does it mean when it says "displacement" for number 8?

      Displacement means the overall change in the buggy's position or the difference between the final and initial location of the buggy.

    I'm confused on how to do numbers 29-30.

      Use the graph withe the 3 motions... It's basically asking you to read the graph of specific points...

    hi im confused on number 8 is it asking the same question as number 7?

      I'm pretty sure #7 is asking for the distance the buggy traveled while #8 is asking for the buggy's final location. This website explains it better than I can: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/1DKin/U1L1c.cfm

    I am confused about numbers 6,7,8. And for number 6 is the answer choice b supposed to be where the buggy began at the beginning of the event instead of the end.

      I'm having the same issue, I don't think any of them make sense....

      What does the y intercept represent? Look at you lab.

      Delete
    3. UnknownJanuary 3, 2015 at 4:53 PM

      But isn't the y intercept where the buggy is when zero seconds have passed? That would be the beginning. I don't understand either.

      for number 6 none of the choices make sense...I think I'm just going to write a comment about it on the test

    I am confused about number 14 because it looks like the answers are describing the starting position instead of the final like answered in previous question.

  9. Mia SomershoeDecember 30, 2014 at 8:03 AM

    I am confused about the graphs corresponding with numbers 15-20 and 21-30. Are the numbers on the x-axis on both graphs supposed to be lined up with the little lines. Thanks

      Yes that is an issue how ever you interpret it is fine just state your interpretation.

    Is slope constant or changing? If you can't tell me where can I find out?

      The slope of a straight line is always contant.
      A horizontal line is constant and zero. Which also means that what ever the meaning of the slope must be the same.

      Great question. Draw a cartoon like picture that shows how the car is changing.

      I drew little pictures for each question on the buggy lab that should be the same thing as motion maps. I sent you a picture via instagram

    Which graph do I use for questions 29-30?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Positively 4th StreetJanuary 1, 2015 at 4:05 PM

    No graphs... Use the equations for a and b. You could sketch the graphs from the equations... I hope this clears it up...

    I plugged in the position for the y value. Is that right?

    What would y be in the equation for #1?

    would someone please post an example of an equation written in terms and units correctly?

    if something is, for example,
    meters per (divided by) seconds,
    multiplied by seconds, seconds cancels, right?
    If seconds cancels, what is the unit for x in y=mx+b?

    for number 15 in that graph, are the numbers determined by the tick marks or the placement of the numbers themselves?

      12 days of physics is the quest linked on the 12 days of physics post. We must do all of the questions.

    In #22, we're writing equations for A and B, but they're not related to the rest of #22, are they?

    For numbers 25 and 26, what does it mean by "ahead of the origin?" Is that asking if the y-intercept is negative or positive?

      same here, i thought it ment the final distances of the 3 (which one had traveled the longest)
