t(s) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
V(m/s) | 8 | 11 | 14 | 17 | 20 |
a. Plot on the millimeter/gridded paper.
b. What kind of relationship between the variable did you get?
c. It may be suspected that the function is:
d. If the function is: ________________ , the equation that will govern it is ________________
e. Since the line does not pass through the origin of the ordered ones, this indicates that: _____________
f. Enter the slope of the line.
g. Find the law that governs movement..
Experience 2:
Discovering a law of growth: How fast do the trees of this hypothetical species grow? How tall will a tree be after a year? Challenge: Do not use calculator or computer.
a. Make a table where you tab the data time days (horizontal axis) Vs Growth height in cm (vertical axis)
B. Graph the data
C. Graphically find the height of díasthe tree, for when 250 days and 300 days have passed. días
C. Choose the most appropriate scales to discover the "growth law" of this species (write the equation that governs the growth of this tree species..
