Determine displacement based on distance
measurements.
Calculate speed and velocity based on position
and elapsed time.
Create and interpret distance-time graphs.
Calculate acceleration based on speed and
elapsed time.
Create and interpret velocity-time graphs.
Identify and use appropriate units for distance,
displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration.
Project Objectives

Imagine that you and your friend are planning
your spring break road trip. If you had millions
of dollars and no responsibilities where would
you go? The project below is designed for such
a scenario. It is also designed to open your eyes
to all the physics involved with traveling. You
will be asked to pick a dream and discuss the
different physics involved in your travels.
Question

Using Google Maps,
map out a route from
Milford High School
(google address) to
your dream travel
destination.
 Take a screen shot
showing the entire
route and include it
in this slide.

Slide #1: My Trip
Insert a text box
that explains:
 Your total
distance
 Your total travel
time

Insert a text box and
explain:


Copy your map onto
this slide, too.
Accurately Place your
displacement vector on
your map.

how your total distance
traveled be different
than your total
displacement. Which
will be greater?
Insert another text box
and explain how the
spherical shape of the
earth would have an
effect on your
displacement vector.
Slide #2: Displacement


Use the your estimated traveling distance and
elapsed time (according to Google) to find your
average traveling speed . Include in this slide.
Show your work using Equation Editor.
Slide #3: Average Speed


Research 2 other
destinations you want
to stop at on the way to
your final destination.
If you have choose a
nearby destination
these could include
stops for gas or food.

Insert these
destinations into
Google maps and reenter your route
information into
Google.
Take a screen shot and
place your map with
your new updated
route on this slide.
Slide #4: Along the Way


Using the computer, construct a distance-time
graph including a point at each stop (start, stop #1,
stop #2, end). Keep in mind your slope should
reflect your average speed. You need to include
segments for your driving and when you stop at
locations)
After constructing the graph you need to label each
segment (you should have 6 segments) with:
 the slope (consider velocity’s relation to slope!)


the distance and time elapsed during travel based
on Google Maps
the time elapsed during each stop (how long you
plan to stop there)
Slide #5: Distance-Time Graph

Paste your map from slide 4. On your map,
place and label a velocity vector at each stop
showing your direction (N, S, E, W, NE, SE, SW,
NW) and average speed away from the
stopping point (you should have 4 vectors,
including the displacement vector).
Slide #6: Velocity Vectors




From a stoplight, assume that it takes your vehicle
10 seconds to reach your average speed (found on
slide 3). What is your acceleration rate in m/s/s?
You then drive your average speed for 60 seconds.
While driving your average speed (found on slide
3), the light in front of you turns red. It takes your
vehicle 8 seconds to come to a complete stop. What
is your acceleration rate in m/s/s?
Answer the above two questions, showing your
work in using Equation Editor. Include your work
and answers on this slide.
Slide #7: Acceleration


Using the computer, construct a Speed-time graph
representing the scenarios from slide # 7. Place a
point at each place your acceleration changes (i.e.
goes from positive to zero ect.) Keep in mind your
slope should reflect your acceleration (+ or -) and the
steepness of lines should reflect the magnitude (how
big) of your acceleration.
After constructing the graph you need to label each
segment (you should have 3 segments) with:


Positive, negative or zero acceleration
Slope
