For the last week we have gone over the concepts of time, distance, displacement, speed and velocity. Think of something that you do in your everyday life that you can describe using two or more of these words. Remember your post must be original and you must comment on someone else's post.
Your mouse trap cars are looking good and you all did a great job making them. This is the first year I have assigned this project so I would love to know if there is anything you liked/disliked about the project and if you have any suggestions for how to do it better next year. This is optional but, I would love your feedback.
An everyday thing i do is go to school. For time it takes about 7 minutes to get there at a speed of 30 miles per hour. The School zone speed limit is 20m/h when the flashing lights are on.
ReplyDeleteGreat, thank you Joceline I was going to comment that also because you are indeed correct, the speed limit at school is 20m/hr. :)
DeleteIt takes you seven minutes? It takes me a little over 10! Ofcourse i think its due to the fact that my dad drives really slow and i do live like a couple of streets away from you. I didint know those couple of streets could have such an impact in the time it took us to get to the same place though .
DeleteYou take a longer route, I don't that also why.
DeleteWow , it takes me about 15 minutes just to get to school and an extra 5 due to all the traffic coming from the freeway. And then people don't know how to drive and are busy on there phones cause so much slow activity on aldine mail route. We tried a lot of routes , stll the same time -.-
DeleteSomething I do everyday which I believe we all do is use the restroom. The time to get from my room to the restroom is about 32 seconds. The distance would be about 20 feet. I go at a different speed everytime depending on how bad I need to go.
ReplyDeleteOn another note my favorite thing about the mouse trap car project was that it didn't take long to make and was both fun and challenging. I honestly can't think of anything I would do to change the project.
Lorena I agree it depends on how bad you need to go, have you done all of the blogposts? Oh and what i liked about the car project was getting to race with other cars.
DeleteYea the project was pretty fun to make. I've only seen those.i had never made one before so it was challenging.
DeletePlaying tennis is a good example i think. We always start in the middle and run a good distance to the left or right. We always travel back though to middle making our displacement zero.
ReplyDeleteSoccer has alot to do with speed and distance. We have to run a good amount of distance at a fast speed. Our mile has to be ran in 7.30 min.
ReplyDeleteWow, you'll run a lot than the boys soccer team. All we do is play a lot with the ball.
DeleteYes! I agree with elizabeth 100%. Soccer is all about speed and distance.
DeleteYou forgot a big one! SKILL
DeleteI work out in fitness connection and always run in the running machine at the end of my work-out. I always go at a speed of 8.0 miles/hour in a time of 20 minutes.
ReplyDeleteI go to fitness connection as well. If run for 20 mins I would go at a speed of 6.5 miles/hour
DeleteEvery time I go to fitness connection it takes about 15 mins if i drive at average of 55 miles/hour
ReplyDeleteI believe in any sport there is a certain requirement of some speed at a certian time or some distance at a certian speed/time. For example in softball one can measure the mph the ball is thrown from a set distance, or how fast a pitcher can pitch to the catcher.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Lisa, are you playing soccer this year?
DeleteSomething of every day life that consist of speed in my case its boxing. When running 10 miles for an hour. its based on the fast you go and the time spent doing each mille. Depending the energy you have. I can run a mile in 7.3 minutes. Running at 10mph taking me a bit over an hour to do 10 miles. It would be faster if I just ran it. But I jogg it to keep the balance between the air I'm intaking and the air I'm releasing as I breathe.
ReplyDeleteEvery day I speed to my called its quick but I sometimes have to add going to the restroom and washing my hands. It always fits depending on how far sway is the next class.and in band which is mostly everyday! I have to accurate how big my step is and how many steps am supposed to. Take to make it.
ReplyDeleteEveryday in school I run to luch because the lines get long really quick. I say it takes me about 30 seconds to get there and I run at a speed of 12 mph I think?
ReplyDeleteU Run Pretty Fast BUT iNever See You In The Front Of The Line.Why?lol
DeleteAn Everyday Thing I Do Is Go To School And Change Classes Every 45-50 Minutes. I Have An Average Time Of 6 Minutes To Reach My Next Class Before The Bell Rings. I Calculate The Distance Of Where My Next Class Is To Find The speed At Which I Need To Walk In Order To Get There iN Time. The Speed At Which I Will Walk Depends On The Distance I Travel To My Next Period:D
ReplyDeleteI liked doing the mouse trap car because it was hands on and not just something i had to type up or write down.
ReplyDeleteEveryday I come to school at a speed of about 20mph
ReplyDeleteReally? I go like 70mph trying to get to school.
DeleteAn everyday thing I do is go walking from my house to my little sister school (Hambrick Middle), it takes about 6 mins. and the distance is 0.3 mi. I walk from my house to her school and then back to our home on an everyday bases.
ReplyDeleteI speed everyday to get to school because the distance is so far.
