Each person in your group should obtain a ruler and at least one ticker tape segment from the staff. All the tape segments were generated using the same ticker timer. Do not write on or fold the tapes. If a ticker timer is available, examine it so that you are familiar with how it works.
G. A model train moving with constant velocity travels 60 cm for every 1.5 s that elapses.
Answer the questions below and discuss your reasoning with your partners.
1. Is there a name that is commonly given to the quantity represented by the number 40?
To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides a number 40?
How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? (Note: A name is not an interpretation. Your response should be in terms of centimeters and seconds.)
Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the distance the train moves in 2.5 s.
2. Is there a name that is commonly given to the quantity represented by the number 0.025?
How would you interpret the number 0.025?
Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the time it takes the train to move 90 cm.

- Instructions: Your task is to create a model in response to the prompts in the question below. Be sure to apply a model from this class and include the relevant diagram(s) for that model. And don’t forget to use the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning framework to present your solution. Phenomenon: Runaway Truck Ramp A truck was driving on a highway at 30 m/s when its brakes gave out. The driver steered it onto a “runaway truck ramp”, consisting of an upward ramp (rising 12 meters vertically over 120 meters horizontally), and ending with a compressible barrier which you can model as a giant spring with spring constant “k”. The compressible barrier can be compressed by a maximum 0.5 meters before it stops working. Graphic attached Values: Mass of the truck: 20 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000kg). Mass of the driver: Choose a reasonable value. Truck Ramp Dimensions: 12 meters vertical, 120 meters horizontal Spring constant k= 6.0 x 107 J/m2.
