This week, we discussed the tumble buggy lab. The key points mentioned in the discussion were:
- Writing equations in terms of the position vs. time graph by substituting in more meaningful variables
- The meaning of the slope of a position vs. time graph using a "for every/each..." statement
- Defining the specific meaning for what the slope of a position vs. time graph represents
- The units of this slope
- The meaning of the vertical intercept of a position vs. time graph
- What the negative sign actually means when we have a negative slope
- Clarifying use of the 5% rule when negative vertical intercepts are present
