Overview
Using your car dashboard (odometer for the distance and speedometer for the velocity)
- Measure the distance from home to your job and the time required for this trip.
a) Calculate your average speed.
b) Calculate your average velocity
- c) Were you driving at this velocity all the time?
Measure the distance and time when you travel from home to your job and come back home.
Determine:
a) Distance.
b) Displacement.
- c) Average speed.
d) Average velocity.
Record the velocity that you have when you approach a traffic light (with the speedometer) and the time to stop in the red light.
Calculate the average acceleration.
Look for the distance between Miami and Orlando. This is a long trip, if you set the Cruise control at 70 mi/h, how long would it take to get to Orlando?
