Your homework this weekend is on Quia. You will need to log in to complete the assignment! You should have able to change your password/username if you've forgotten it. Otherwise, make sure to email me!
You can find the link to the homework below. It is called 1.4 Review. You have two attempts at it, and as much time as you want for each attempt. You will need scrap paper and a pen/pencil.

Don't forget - v = d/t and a = v/t
Have a nice weekend!

Gents,
I'm sorry I cannot be with you again today.
Today, you will have the first few minutes of class to talk to one another about last night's homework. Then, you will work on the two quia assignments; the link to both can be found below. These will not be graded, they are just to help you review. Please make sure that you treat the computers with the same amount of respect and maturity that you would if I was there. You are ambassadors to our room today, and I know you will act accordingly.
1) Quiz 15.
This 'quiz' can be taken an unlimited amount of times. Keep taking it until you get a 100%!
2) Section 1.3 Matching.
This is a game; again, keep playing until you know all the answers well!
Both can be found here:

***Important:
If your computer is having internet trouble, try restarting it.
Also, please make sure you SHUT DOWN your computer at the end of class - DON'T just log off.

Work on these problems in your notebook: (don't forget v = d/t !!)
1)In last week's Homecoming victory, Al Konfurance, the star halfback of South's football team, broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and darted upfield untouched. He averaged 9.8 m/s for an 80-yard (73 m) score. Determine the time for Al to run from the line of scrimmage to the end zone.
2)Ken Runfast is the star of the cross-country team. During a recent morning run, Ken averaged a speed of 5.8 m/s for 12.9 minutes. Ken then averaged a speed of 6.10 m/s for 7.1 minutes. Determine the total distance which Ken ran during his 20 minute jog.
3) In the qualifying round of the 50-yd freestyle in the sectional swimming championship, Dugan got an early lead by finishing the first 25.00 yd in 10.01 seconds. Dugan finished the return leg (25.00 yd distance) in 10.22 seconds.
a. Determine Dugan's average speed for the entire race.
b. Determine Dugan's average speed for the first 25.00 yd leg of the race.
c. Determine Dugan's average velocity for the entire race.
Use the graph to determine the speeds at which the two students move. (Ignore any stationary periods of time.) Then determine how much faster the fastest student moves than the slower student.

4) The position-time graph below represents the motion of South's basketball coach during the last sixteen seconds of overtime during this past weekend's game.
Use the graph to answer the next several questions.
a. Determine the total distance walked by the coach during these 16 seconds.
b. Determine the resulting displacement of the coach during these 16 seconds.
c. Determine the displacement of the coach after 12.0 seconds.
d. At what time did the coach have the greatest displacement from his starting position?
e. What was the fastest speed which the coach walked during any of the time intervals for the last 16.0 seconds?
f. What was the average speed of the coach for these 16.0 seconds?
b. Determine the resulting displacement of the coach during these 16 seconds.
c. Determine the displacement of the coach after 12.0 seconds.
d. At what time did the coach have the greatest displacement from his starting position?
e. What was the fastest speed which the coach walked during any of the time intervals for the last 16.0 seconds?
f. What was the average speed of the coach for these 16.0 seconds?
5) The position-time graph below represents the motion of two students - Mac (in red) and Tosh (in blue) - as they enter and exit the school library during a passing period.

1) Complete the 'graph stacks' worksheet that you picked up at the end of class today.
2) In your notebook, draw d-t and v-t graphs for each of the following stories:
a. I walk from our classroom (the origin) towards Mr. Lavy's classroom at a constant speed, and then remember that I forgot something and turn around, heading back towards our class at a faster constant speed.
b. I'm cruising in my car at a constant speed when I see a red light ahead, so I slow to a stop.
c. (this one is tricky!) I throw a ball up in the air and then catch it at the same distance when it comes back down.

Tomorrow is the big day! Make sure your cars are ready to go! Know the time and distance your car can travel.
Good luck!
