In this activity, students will use a plywood ramp and various tornado tubes (made from tornado tube connectors and 2 liter pop bottles) to calculate the average speed of the tornado tubes. They will set up 4 investigations filling the 2...

Speed is a type of rate. Have you ever been asked to define the term speed? If so, you would probably answer, "how fast an object is moving." More specifically, speed is the distance an object travels in a given amount of time. This...

Students are introduced to the calculator as a graphing tool and distinguish between average speed and instantaneous speed.

By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: Explain the relationships between instantaneous velocity, average velocity, instantaneous speed, average speed, displacement, and time; Calculate velocity and speed given...
