Student directions Maze Game activity $1$: Using vector

representations to move through a maze

Homework $2$

Learning Goals: Students will be able to

Maneuver through the maze controlling position, velocity, or

acceleration.

Explain game strategies using physics principles.

Directions:

Use the Practice level of Maze Game to understand the controls

for the game.

Play Level $1$ using each of the $3$ methods for control. To keep

everyone on equal grounds, you must Start Game, from the

Reset location. Keep track of your progress by filling out the

table with at least three trials for each control. You'll find that

completing Level $1$ under acceleration control is the most

challenging, but is also a great way to gain an intuition for

acceleration. The current record is $5\mathrm{.}0$ seconds!

Describe your strategy for minimizing your time when using the

acceleration control. Be sure to back your strategy with the

physics principles.

Explain what you do to get $"$No Goal". How can you get a

"Goal" without selecting Reset?

Play with Level $2$ and track of your results in this table:
