Solving an acceleration problem.

Magnus decided to use his neighbors humongous swimming pool as a skate park.

For an entry, he perched at the top of the big blue waterslide.

He was motionless (0m/s) at the top of the slide and launched downward!

He reached the bottom of the slide in 1.15 seconds traveling 6.2 m/s and soaring outward toward the pool.

What was his acceleration?

Unfortunately, the pool was empty for maintenance…

Sharing of Estimated Average Speed

Brainstorm -

  • Why are the results so different?

  • How can we improve our estimates?

Retesting and reporting:

Each team to submit a report that:

  1. Lists the steps they took to make a better estimate of everage speed.

  2. neatly organizes and shows the work they did to produce their final estimate of average speed at the lowest slope.
