Mission KC5: Oil Drop Representations


Mission KC5 pertains to the interpretation of oil drop patterns for constant speed and accelerated motion. The mission consists of 33 questions organized into 9 Question Groups. You must answer one question from each Question Group to complete the mission. The learning outcomes for this mission are ...
 

Learning Outcomes

  • The student should be able to analyze an oil drop representation (ticker tape) and classify a motion as a constant velocity motion, an accelerated motion and as slow or fast.
  • The student should be able to analyze an oil drop representation (ticker tape) and describe the direction of the velocity and acceleration vectors.
