Use the data below to answer the scaffold questions. t=1.0 s d=1.0 m o Distance traveled by the object sliding down the incline is 1.0 m o Time of travel is 1.0 s o Initial velocity is 0.0 m/s Kinematic equations: o Use d =(v + v, )t to solve for final velocity at the bottom of the incline. o Use v,? = v,2 + 2ad to solve for the acceleration of the object down the incline. Scaffold questions: How can you derive a mathematical model for the motion of the object down the incline? Assuming acceleration is constant and that the object is moving along one axis, set up the acceleration vector from the acceleration you calculated in the previous step. I.

Describe a means of transportation and a point-to-point travel route with which you are familiar. Use this route to explain the difference between and the meaning of the following terms: distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration. Do not use a path with zero displacements; for example from home to work and back home. Identify those quantities which are vectors, and which are scalars. Give magnitudes and direction from your example route as appropriate.
