The graph shows the time versus distance data gathered for four different balls in laboratory 022.
The first four questions are matching. Use the letters A, B, C, and D at the end of the lines on the xy scattergraph.
_____ Ball not moving: stationary.
_____ Ball slowing down.
_____ Ball moving at a constant non-zero speed.
_____ Ball speeding up.
___________________ Determine the speed of ball D.
___________________ Determine the speed of ball A.
___________________ Determine the speed of ball B between 4 and 5 seconds.
___________________ Determine the speed of ball C between 7 and 10 seconds.
A rolling ball cannot generate a vertical line on a time versus distance graph. Why?
___________________ The graph on the above left was generated by a RipStik rider. The x-axis is time in seconds, the y-axis is the distance in meters. The equation of the line is y = 1.58x + 0.5. What is the speed of the RipStik (including units)?
___________________ The graph on the above right is taken from the ball rolling data gathered on Thursday. The x-axis is in seconds, the y-axis is in centimeters. What is the speed of the ball (including units)?
___________________ In the graph on the above right the actual data points form a slight curve. Why does the data form a slight curve, what is happening to the ball?
