PREDICTION CHALLENGE: MEETING POINT

GIVEN: two battery operated cars with different speeds, metersticks, stopwatches

TASK: Predict the distance at which two cars will collide when they start at opposite ends separated by a distance of 1.5 meters. One car leaves 3 seconds after the first car is released.

POSTER: Motion diagrams, derivation, graphs of position and velocity versus time graphs.

AP PHYSICS 1
