    Speed of The Car Relative To The Board: Activity 5 A Moving Frame of Reference

    Uploaded by

    Reeja Mathew
    This document describes an activity where students measure the speed of a board and car relative to a fixed scale under different conditions: 1) They first measure the speed of the board and car relative to the fixed scale separately. 2) They then vary the speed of the board and measure the speed of the board and car relative to the fixed scale, recording the results in a table. 3) They are asked to state the relationship between the speeds and explain their thinking. 4) They predict and then test what will happen if the car moves in the opposite direction of the board. 5) They plan and perform an experiment where the car remains in the same location on the moving board.

    Activity 5 A Moving Frame of Reference

    8. Work with your group to make two simultaneous


    measurements. Measure the speed of the board relative to
    the fixed scale (the scale on the floor) and the speed of the
    car relative to the fixed scale. The second measurement can
    be tricky. Practice a few times. It may help to stand back
    from the poster board.
    a) Record the measurements.
    9. Next, measure the speed of the poster board and the car
    relative to the fixed scale while moving the board at different
    speeds. Make and complete a table like the one below.

    Speed of the Car Relative to the Board


    Speed of the Board
    Relative to Fixed Scale

    Speed of the Car


    Relative to Fixed Scale

    a) Work with your group to state a relationship between the


    speed of the car relative to the fixed scale, its speed
    relative to the board, and the speed of the board relative
    to the fixed scale. Describe the relationship in your log.
    Also explain your thinking.
    b) What do you think will happen if the car moves in the
    direction opposite to the direction the board is moving?
    Record your idea. Now try it. Do the results agree with
    your predictions?
    c) Plan an experiment in which the car is moving along the
    poster board, the poster board is moving, and the car
    remains at the same location. Try it. Record the results.
