You are driving along Lawrence Ave. at 60 km/h. You see the traffic light ahead is still green and decide to speed up to try to make it through the intersection before it turns red (poor decision!). Your car accelerates at 1.3 m/s?. You reach the light after accelerating for 4.3 seconds. What is your speed at the light in m/s? v, =v, +a&t A: Pictorial Representation Sketch showing events, describe events, coordinate system, label givens & unknowns with symbols, conversions B: Physics Representation Motion diagram, motion graphs, velocity vectors, events a +x C: Word Representation Describe motion (no numbers), -assumptions, estimated result (no calculation) D: Mathematical Representation Describe physics of steps, complete equations, algebraically isolate, substitutions with units, final statement of prediction
