Conclusion:<strong>Answer</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>follow<strong>in</strong>g</strong> <strong>questions</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>your</strong> <strong>own</strong> <strong>words</strong> <strong>while</strong> th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g about <strong>the</strong> activity you just completed. (Youdraw a picture to help expla<strong>in</strong> <strong>your</strong> answers.)i. Describe/def<strong>in</strong>e position.Describe/def<strong>in</strong>e velocity:3. What is a vector?4. How are position and velocity related?Describe how <strong>the</strong> man could have positive position <strong>while</strong> hav<strong>in</strong>g a negative velocity.6.

Mov<strong>in</strong>g Man - V~locity vs. Time GraphsStudent PagesBackground - Remember graphs are not just an evil th<strong>in</strong>g <strong>your</strong> teacher makes you create, <strong>the</strong>y are a meansof communication. Graphs are a way of communicat<strong>in</strong>g by us<strong>in</strong>g pictures and s<strong>in</strong>ce a picture is worth a thousand<strong>words</strong> know<strong>in</strong>g how to make and <strong>in</strong>terpret graphs will save you a lot of writ<strong>in</strong>g. (~Learn<strong>in</strong>g Goals = The stadents will:Develop a general kqowledge of "Ve!ocity vs. Time" graphs and"Distance vs. Time":graph~o What graphs of a person stand<strong>in</strong>g stil! would look likeo What graphs of a person mov<strong>in</strong>g away from an observer ata constant speed would look like.o What graphs ofaperson mov<strong>in</strong>g towards an observer at aconstant speed would look like.~ o How differences <strong>in</strong> speed appear on <strong>the</strong> graphsProcedure - Do tile <strong>follow<strong>in</strong>g</strong> activity us<strong>in</strong>g this web sitehttp://www.colorado.edu/physics!pheVsimulations-base.htmlThen click on "The Mov<strong>in</strong>g Man"Screen 11. Gett<strong>in</strong>g started. After~"The Mov<strong>in</strong>g Man" is open leave <strong>the</strong> position graph and <strong>the</strong> velocity graphopen but close <strong>the</strong> acceleration graph. Your screen should look like screen 1.2. Mak<strong>in</strong>g observations. By ei<strong>the</strong>r click<strong>in</strong>g on <strong>the</strong> man or <strong>the</strong> slider cause <strong>the</strong> man to move back andforth and observe what shows up on <strong>the</strong> graphs. Us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> axis provided below make sketches ofDistance vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time graphs for <strong>the</strong> actions described next to each axis.A man mov<strong>in</strong>g from 0to !0 at a slow steadypace.-i0 -I0C~)A man mov<strong>in</strong>g from 0to 10 at a fast pace.~5...
