reviewing constant velocity

Today in class we got back together with our groups from the toy car assignment. We wrote down how you would make a graph, equation, and in your own words about the constant velocity of the car. The equation was x=0.45(m/s)t. The constant velocity is change in position over change in time. On a graph if the slope is constant it shows constant velocity. We talked about what things in life have constant velocity. Cornelius said Kangaroo's and we discussed how it is not constant. I said a car on cruise control has a constant velocity. Merritt said that everything in the room thats standing still has a constant velocity. In terms of it being on earth it is just standing still but the earth is turning, and moving around the sun so it does have a constant velocity. Then we did a Bogus worksheet. We had to define it and say why things were bogus. the rest was for homework.
The next blogger is.. Merritt

great work Sloan!
Just one clarification...

In a Position vs Time graph, the slope is average velocity. (we'll be seeing other types of graphs soon).
