Lady bug motion

In this task you will review your understanding of vectors with the PhET Lady Bug activity

1. When you open the program you will see the lady bug. In the box labelled "Remote Control" you will see that the position vector is shown. Use this position vector to place lady bug at the origin.

2. Check the hide vectors button at the top. In your books copy the paths shown on the board. Draw the direction of the position and vector at the points indicated. Check using the Lady bug.

3. Check the velocity button at the top. Repeat the exercise predicting the velocity vectors in your books

4. Check the acceleration button. repeat the exercise predicting the acceleration vectors
