Summary: This week we reviewed speed, distance, velocity, and learned more about acceleration. Acceleration is an objects change of velocity which is when a runner starts running faster. To find the acceleration of an object you’d find the constant speed, the speed after acceleration, and how long the acceleration lasted. You’d do the speed after acceleration and subtract the constant speed (ex. 24meters - 8meters). Lastly you’d divide the total by how long the acceleration lasted (ex. 16meters/8seconds).
SP5: Using Mathematics and Computational thinking
Mathematical and computational approaches enable prediction of the behavior of physical systems along with the testing of such predictions.
Did you perform any math calculations?
Yes while, reviewing and learning more about acceleration we had to multiply, divide, add, or subtract numbers. There were formulas for certain laws in physics, and the formulas had you do some math that included one or two of the 4 listed (multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction). An example is the acceleration formula where you have to divide and subtract certain variables.
