Walking Directions (Distance)

Follow the directions on the worksheet

Stay in the courtyard

Everyone should do their own steps and turns

5 minute activity

Be quick and efficient

Focus on what you are doing, not on others

Think-Pair-Share Mrs. Larkin’s Example

Think-Pair-Share

Think:

Recall your journey

Map it out on the dots as Mrs. Larkin did

Pair:

Compare journeys with your group members

Share:

3 people called at random to draw their journeys

UNIT 2 (MOTION & FORCES), DAY 1

• Distance vs. Displacement

Distance vs. Displacement Draw small Venn Diagram (about size of hand)

Talk to your group: 2 similarities for distance & displacement 1 difference for distance & displacement

Distance vs. Displacement

Distance: how much the object has moved

Displacement: how far object is from its

starting point

Distance vs. Displacement

Notebook9/25 or 9/26

UNIT 2 (MOTION & FORCES), DAY 1

• Distance vs. Displacement

• Scalars vs. Vectors

Scalar vs. Vector

Scalar: measurement , no

direction

To represent a scalar, use a letter

Distance: d

Time: t

Speed: v

Scalar vs. Vector

Vector: measurement WITH

direction

To represent a vector, use a letter &

arrow

Displacement: x or y

Velocity: v

Acceleration: a

Scalar vs. Vector Why x or y for displacement?

+X-x

+y

-y

(horizontal)

(vertical)

Memory Trick:• H is before V, justlike X is before Y

Practice Mrs. Larkin runs forward 10 feet. She then

turns around and runs back 7 feet. What distance did she run?

Practice Mrs. Larkin runs forward 13 feet. She then

turns around and runs back 6 feet. What displacement did she run?

Practice Shadow runs 3 meters east, then 2 meters

north, then 3 meters west. What distance did she run?

Practice Shadow runs 4 inches north, then 5 inches

east, then 4 inches south. What displacement did she run?

Practice

Ms. Parsons drives to and from Da Vinci

Design, which is located 5 miles from her

house.

A. What is the total distance she drives every day?

B. What is her displacement every day?

Practice La Luz runs a complete circle around the

classroom. What displacement did she run? (Use feet)

Practice

La Luz and Shadow are racing each other

around a circular track. The track is 500

meters around and 159 meters across. La Luz

gets tired and stops halfway around. Shadow

finishes the race.

A. Who has the greater displacement?

B. By how many meters?

500 meters around

159 meter

Figuring Out an Equation Here are some units for speed:

Miles per hour (mi/h) Kilometers per hour (km/h) Meters per second (m/s) Feet per second (ft/s)

UNIT 2 (MOTION & FORCES), DAY 1

• Distance vs. Displacement

• Scalars vs. Vectors

• Speed vs. Velocity

Speed vs. Velocity

Speed (SCALAR) is the total distancetraveled in a certain amount of time.

Speed vs. Velocity

Velocity (VECTOR) is the displacement (change in position) that occurs in a certain amount of time.
