3). Can an object have both potential and kinetic energy? Explain.

4). Can energy be used up? Explain.

Teacher Initials:______

From the Illustrated Vocabulary: Be prepared to match up the vocabulary and definitions

Motion – Speed – Reference Point- Distance - Force -

From the Rollercoaster Lab:

Explain why a rollercoaster cannot have a hill the same height as the previous hill.

Teacher Initials:______From Motion Graphs, Teasha and Josh’s Trips to School, Continued Motion and Speed Graphing Practice, and Tom and Kathy’s Bike Ride In class, we used toy cars to study and collect data about motion. The racetrack shown has a 6-meter ramp and a 5-meter level section to the finish line. Two cars compete at a time.

The data table and graph below show the speed and total distance traveled for car 1 and car 2 during the first three seconds of a race.

Use the diagrams shown here to answer the following two questions

At what point on the track does a car reach its fastest speed?

A. Halfway down the ramp. B. At the bottom of the ramp. C. Halfway down the level section. D. At the finish line.

What likely happened to car 1 at 2.0 seconds?

A. It changed direction. B. It reached the bottom of the ramp. C. It stopped. D. It was bumped by car 2. Which story is a possible scenario for the below graph:

A). Tom took his dog for a walk to the park. He set off slowly and then increased his pace. At the park Tom turned around and walked slowly back home.

B). Tom rode his bike east from his home up a steep hill. After a while the slope eased off. At the top he raced down the other side.

C). Tom went for a jog. At the end of his road he bumped into a friend and his pace slowed. When Tom left his friend he walked quickly back home.

From mini lecture:

Using the Speed Triangle

Practice Problems:

1). If a car travels 400m in 20 seconds how fast is it going?

2). If you move 50 meters in 10 seconds, what is your speed? 3). A plane travels 395,000 meters in 9000 seconds. What was its speed?

4). How much time will it take for a bug to travel 5 meters across the floor if it is traveling at 1 m/s?

5). You need to get to class, 200 meters away, and you can only walk in the hallways at about 1.5 m/s. (if you run any faster, you’ll be caught for running). How much time will it take to get to your class?

6). In a competition, an athlete threw a flying disk 139 meters through the air. While in flight, the disk traveled at an average speed of 13.0 m/s. How long did the disk remain in the air?

7). How far can you get away from your little brother with the squirt gun filled with paint if you can travel at 3 m/s and you have 15s before he sees you? 8). How far can your little brother get if he can travel at 2.5 m/s and in 5 seconds you will discover that his squirt gun has run out of paint?

9). If you shout into the Grand Canyon, your voice travels at the speed of sound (340 m/s) to the bottom of the canyon and back, and you hear an echo. How deep is the Grand Canyon at a spot where you can hear your echo 5.2 seconds after you shout?
