Activity Card # 3: Complete The Following Questions To The Best of Your Abiliity

Both balls will hit the ground at the same time because there is no air resistance on the moon to slow the fall of the Styrofoam ball. For a coin tossed straight up, the velocity is upward and increasing until the highest point, then downward and decreasing until it lands. The acceleration is always downward. A driver traveling at 5 m/s who hits the brakes with an acceleration of -1.5 m/s^2 will stop after traveling 7.5 m, so if a deer was 100 m away the driver would not hit it.

ACTIVITY CARD # 3

Complete the following questions to the best of your abiliity

2m

1. An astronaut simultanneously drops a Styrofoam ball and a bowling ball on the moon as shown. Which
ball will hit the ground first? Why?

2.

A coin tossed straight up into the air. After release, it moves up, reaches its highest point
and falls back down again. Assume up is positive. For the table below, circle
the direction (up or down) and behavior (increasing, decreasing, or constant) for both velocity and
acceleration.

3. The driver of a car traveling at 5 m/s see a deer and hits the brake. After hitting the brake, the driver
experiences a -1.5 m/s2 accelerration. (Hint: What is the final velocity the driver wishes to achieve?)
a. How far does the driver travel after
b. If the deer was 100 m away,
hittting the brake?
does the drriver hit him?
