Graphing Exercise Swbat: use proper graphing techniques to graph data Swbat: interpret data from a graph and draw conclusions about the information
Instructions Get a blank piece of paper. Fold it Hotdog and Hamburger to make even quarters. Mark the lines.
Continued… • Number each quarter of the paper starting in the top left moving clockwise. • Label each section as follows: • 1. Data Chart • 2. Distance Vs. Time • 3. Speed Vs. Time • 4. Acceleration Vs. Time 2 1 4 3
Section 1 Copy the data from the slide into a chart in this section of your paper. It should have 2 columns. One for time and one for distance.
Section 2 Draw a graph that relates distance and time. Remember we are controlling what time we take measurements and the recording the response. (DRY MIX) Distance in meters Time in Seconds
Section 3 Remember that speed=distance/time. And that we only need to be concerned with the change in time when we look at speed. Calculate the speed the object is traveling each second and make a graph that relates speed (which we are calculating) and time (which we are choosing)(DRY MIX).
Section 4 Acceleration is changes in velocity. Using the previous graph as a data source, draw a graph that relates acceleration (calculated) and time (which was chosen.
Distance vs. Time 35 Distance in Meters 30 25 20 15 10 5 Time in Seconds 5 30 10 25
Speed vs. Time 3 Speed in m/s 2 1 30 Time in Seconds 5 10 25
Acceleration vs. Time Acceleration in m/s/s 3 2 1 5 30 10 25 -1 -2 -3 Time in Seconds
On the Back… • Be sure you have your name at the top!!!! • Answer the following questions: • 1. What will a Distance Vs. Time graph look like if the object is standing still? • 2. What is happening if the same line was vertical? • 3. describe the lines on an Acceleration Vs. Time Graph when the object is sitting still. Moving at a constant speed of 3 m/s. • 4. Which direction will the line go in a Distance Vs. Time graph if the object is slowing down but still traveling forward?
