Chapter 6 ENRICHMENT
Using simple figures, motion lines, or other techniques, draw three cartoon panels of two automobiles on a highway. One is moving at a constant speed and one is accelerating.
Answers will vary. Panel 1 may present Car A behind Car B, in panel 2 they may be even, and in panel 3 Car A may be pulling ahead. Students may include long vertical motion lines to simulate speed. They may even change the shape of the car to show that one is working harder to pass the other.
The first, constant motion, represents the formula speed = d / t. The second, accelerating motion, represents the formula a = speedfinal speedstart / t.
