Activity #2

Select the two objects that you would like to use. Set the position, speed and acceleration for both objects.
Click on Go.
Record in your what you should notice. about Acceleration, Speed, and Position.
Activity #3
http://www.walter-fendt.de/ph14e/acceleration.htm
This Java applet shows a car moving with constant acceleration. The green control panel contains text fields where you can vary the values of initial position, initital velocity and acceleration (don't forget to press the "Enter" key!). By using the buttons at the top right you can bring back the car to its initial position or stop and resume the simulation. If you choose the option "Slow motion", the movement will be ten times slower.
Three digital clocks indicate the time elapsed since the start. As soon as the car has reached the green respectively red light barrier with its front bumper, the corresponding clock will stop. Both light barriers are adjustable by dragging the mouse with pressed mouse button.
Three diagrams illustrate the motion of the vehicle:
Select your favorite and list the 3 settings in your notebook.
Activity # 4

Click on RUN NOW. Download or open the file. Manipulate the adjustments for the moving man. Explain how the increase of acceleration effects velocity.
Activity #5

Click on Fill Brackets, Click on Sprint, Read the info (I) for each and try to decide who would win the in a sprint.
Explain why you choose your winner and if you were correct. Record your score.

- Position x versus time t
- Velocity v versus time t
- Acceleration a versus time t
