In the comment section, explain your understanding of the motion unit based on this word wall. What do these terms now mean to you? How do they relate to each other? What is the connection among all of them (don't just say motion...)? Please include what class period you are in.
Lauren F. I learned that acceleration is the rate at which your velocity changes. Speed is the measure of how fast an object is moving. Velocity is the measure of how fast an object is moving in a given direction. Distance is the space between two objects/points. The total path traveled. Displacement is the difference between starting and ending point/position. It can be negitive.

ReplyDeletei learned about velocity and acceleration. How acceleration is the change in velocity. That distance and displacement are sort of the same thing. Distance is how far an object travels but displacement is how far an object travel in a certain direction. That all these words have one thing in common which is unit one.
ReplyDeleteJohn O. In the motion unit, I how to find hangtime, velocity and acceleration of any objects by using multiple equations to find the answer. Also, I now know how to find the distance of an object by doing speed over time. I also learned how convert from differnt units of the metric to the standard.
ReplyDeleteJohn O. In the Motion Unit, I also learned that it is important to keep up with the equations and know which ones to use in the problems. Also, you need to know how to convert the units between metric and standard because that is a big part of the unit and the class.

ReplyDeleteIn the motion unit, i learned about acceleration, and how its the rate at which velocity changes. i also learned the equation to find acceleration, velocity, distnace and speed. i also learned how to convert units.

ReplyDeleteIn the motion unit, i learned about the real meaning of the equations. Before I didn't really understand them, but now that the unit is over, I truely understand what the different equations mean. Also I learned how to do something that I had hardly heard of before, converting different units of measure. Without the knowledge of converting units, Physics is basically imposible.
I learned how to find how high an object goes depending on the time and gravity. I also learned what hang time was, and how to figure out velocity and acceleration. I also learned how to figure out double conversions.

ReplyDeleteIn the motion unit, all of the words had to do with the movement of things. We used a lot of equations to figure out things like acceleration, velocity, speed, distance, and time. We also had to learn how to convert measurements, such as miles to meters and hours to seconds.

ReplyDeleteIn this unit I learned that displacment is the difference between the starting and ending point. Velocity is how fast an object is moving. I also learned how to solve double conversions,hang time and instatanious speed.
In this unit I learned a lot about speed and distance. I never knew how to figure out some of the information I can now. For example hang time and acceleration speed. I also liked learning about converting units. For example mi/hr to ft/min. One word I didn't know was displacement. I always knew that distance was total traveled, but displacement is distance from starting point. I think all of the words are linked through equations. There are equations for solving all diferent problems. Like solving for acceleration or average speed. I really enjoyed the motion unit!
ReplyDeleteIvana O. I learned that speed is equal to distance over time. Acceleration is equal to change in velocity over time. There are also different equations to figure out distance with acceleration. The accleceration on the earth is 9.8. After learning these equations, all we had to do was apply them to the scenarios we were given. Also, I learned the units to distance, time, mass, and acceleration.
ReplyDeleteKatherine S. 1/2A- I learned that velocity is the measure of how an object moves in a given direction, and that speed is the measuie of how fast an object is moving; rate at which distance is traveled (s= d/t.) The units for speed and velocity are m/s, mi/hr. Equally important, the word wall terms relate to eachother because they all build off of eachother. (For ex: I had to know the change in velocity over time in order to find out the acceleration. Each new unit that I learned led to a harder equation with new units, including the units from before.)In the end, they also built off of echother because you had to graph them.
ReplyDeleteCarly B. (7-8a) I learned the difference between displacement and distance. I also found out how to calculate the distance of something that fell off of another thing, and the time/ hang time. I know about converting and the process for that. (Also double conversions.) I also know the meaning of velocity and that the units are m/s. We did a review on graphing which I also found very helpful since I did not remember it very well from middle school. The motion detector lab was very interesting to learn about too since it visually represented the direction and speed the students were traveling at.

Based on the word wall, my understanding of those words are more clear now that we've learned of them. I now know that they connect to one another to find the other and the differences between words that might seem to have the same meaning. To me, these words mean that there is motion everywhere, even objects that may look at rest, but it is always relative to something. Motion is always happening with a certain speed. These words relate to eachother by being in equations to find another. The connection between all of these words are not only motion, but that if you have certain information, you can find out somthing else with it.
Liam(7a-8a)
ReplyDeleteFrom the word wall, I understand how to find each unit of measure by using others. For instance, time equils distance over speed, and distance equils speed times time. They relate because some units can be used to find others . The connection between all of them is that they all are used in measurements.

I learned the difference between speed and velocity and that acceleration is the rate at which your velocity changes. I learned that motion is relative and that objects move in relation to something else. these words are all related because they can all change, like you can change your velocity when you're driving, which changes your distance traveled and your displacement, which can also affect your time.
Alesia C.(per.7-8A)
ReplyDeleteToward the end of the unit I moslty learned about all the velocity, speed, distance, and overall the equations. The terms on the word wall show all the words we covered in the motion unit. All the words are connected to each other because you need one word to know the other word. For example the definition of acceleration is the increase of speed and velocity but if you don’t know what speed or velocity mean then you don’t get the definition of acceleration.

ReplyDeleteI learned in this motion unit a lot about speed, distance, and time. For distance I learned its a lot different from displacement. Distance is the space between two objects, and displacement is the distance from the starting point to the ending point. I also learned that Instantaneous speed is how fast an object is moving at any given time, and average speed is the total distance traveled in the total time. . These all relate to each other because it helps find the motion and speed of a given object. They also relate because if you have some information about it, you can use it to find the speed or acceleration. For example if you had the time and distance of the object, you can divided the distance by time to get the speed.
Brendan S. In the motion unit I learned how fast an object falls and how to calculate equations with speed, velocity, and distance. I learned that acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes and that speed is how fast an object is moving. All these words are very important to understand physics.

In the motion unit I learned about velocity and how to find distance when you have the speed and time of something. Looking at the word wall, all of the words are very important to the unit.

ReplyDeleteduring the motion unit I learned many things, including how to figure how how fast an object is falling and the change in its velocity. I was refreshed on how to average up all of the split times during an experiment. All of the words relate to eachother becuase they all lead into one another. Like speed, leads to distance, which leads to time, which could then lead to hours, and then minutes and so on. When I look at the word wall, I cant find one word that wasnt very important during this unit.

ReplyDelete7-8a In this unit I learned how to calculate hang time, and also instantaneous speed. I learned that MATH can be fun! I thought it was interesting doing all the conversion problems and how to get the answer to them. Velocity is how fast an object is moving. And looking at the word wall all the words are very important. I had a fun time learning all about motion!

in the motion unit, i learned how to find instantaneous speed and hang time. i also learned that the acceleration of an object is 9.8m/s. i learned how to convert many units into smaller or larger ones and how to convert double units. i found the distance vs. time graphs interesting and easy to understand once i learned it. now looking back at the word wall, i can understand why so many of the words we learned and went over are the size they are because some of the words we barely went over and some of the words we talked about at least everyday.

During the Motions Unit we learned alot about how fast, how long, and how far an object moved. We first learned about conversions. Meters to feet, kilometers to meters, and so on. From single conversions we went to doubled, like miles/hours to meter/seconds.From conversions we went to distance vs. displacement. We learned that distance was the space between two objects and the length that something travels. Displacement means the diffrence between the starting and ending points. With this we can also add our understandings of conversions. Next we learned about instantaneouse speed and average speed. Instantaneouse speed is the speed of an objects at an instant of time, average speed is the total distanced traveled in a certain amount of time. With this we learned the equations of average (Savg=Dtot/Ttot) and instantaneouse speed (S=D/T). Speed and Velocity came next. Speed is the measure of how fast an object is moving, and velocity is the measure of how fast an objects move in a given direction. We learned another equations for velocity which is V=Change in displacement/time. We could now measure of fast an object is moving. Next we learned acceleration which was very important. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. The equations is A=change in V/T. We learned the acceleration of gravity on Earth is 9.8m/s/s. So when an object falls it increases by 9.8m/s. The last thing we learned was graphing. Graphing is used to organize and compare data and certain variables. During the motions unit we learned alot about everything on the world wall. One thing I wont forget is, motion means that objects move in relation something else.

ReplyDeleteI learned all the basic formulas about motion. I also learned how to fund hang time and to convert metric into US units. It also helped me tune up my knowledge on graphs. The funniest thing i learned in this unit was how to make rockets. This taught me how to create a rocket with the least drag and the most hang time. It taught me about motion and velocity.
This is Frank D 2b-3 and I learned a few things from this word wall. I learned the meanings and differences between displacement and distance. I also learned that acceleration for all objects on earth is 9.8m/s. All the words relate to eachother because they all have to deal with motion. I also learned all the formulas given in the unit. All of these words connect to eachother because they all relate to something moving at different rates.
ReplyDeleteThis is Ciara G. from 1-2a. I've learned, from looking at the picture above, that many of the terms used last unit will be brought up again in this unit such as velocity and accleraction. We also get a glance at the major terms cover in this unit that have to do with motion. From the picture alone you can conclude which terms might be used together to further explain motion.Such as: Distance vs. Displacement. This was also covered last unit.
ReplyDeleteThis Is Alex H from 7-8a. In the motion unit, we first learned all about conversions and on to apply those to equations. I learned that acceleration is the rate at which your velocity changes. Speed measures of how fast an object is moving such as a car or plane. Instantaneous speed measures a speed at a given time versus measuring an average speed. Velocity is the measure of how fast an object is moving in a given direction such as north or south; once an object turns it has a change in velocity. The way that all of these words relate to each other is that they all make up small pieces of the motion equation. We take the words and substitute them with numbers to find unknown numbers.
ReplyDeleteI'm Elena M. from period 7-8a. In the motion unit I learned the formulas for acceleration, and velocity. I learned how to use them and what they mean. Also I learned about speed and how there is instantaneous and average speed. In the motion detector lab I learned what motions are necessary to create a certain graph. Overall I learned so much!
ReplyDeleteNutnicha P. (7-8a)In the motion unit I learned about difference between distance and displacement. I learned how to find speed or verocity and acceleration from the formula and I can apply formula to find time or distance. Conversion is very important because if I don't careful about the unit, I can do the wrong thing. In this unit made me know math is very important for physics!
ReplyDeleteMike R.
ReplyDeleteIn the velocity unit i learned about formulas that can be used to solve every day events. My favorite formula was the speed equals distance over time because it was easy and I enjoyed learning about distance and displacement because that was easy as well.

It shows all of what we have learned either the formulas of motion or the units we used to find what we are looking for. This unit has helped me learn new things such as how to find hang time. And making the rockets was great and we all learned so much from making it!
I learned from this unit that math has a big part in Physics than I thought. I also learned how to figure out an equation even when you don't have all of the varibles to get the answer. The lessons that I found difficult such as acceleration and hangtime, now start to make more sense!
