Unit 2 cont.

In Physics today, we continued our learning of Kinematics. We experimented with v/t graphs and d/t graphs through our Graph Matching Lab. This made me think about the oceans our island is surrounded with. The waves move at a constant rate, yet they are constantly moving in different directions. Therefore the d/t graphs for waves would look like curved, constant intervals. It would go up and down at a constant rate, like a curved heartbeat. The v/t graph would jump from (for example) 2 m/s to -2 m/s periodically. Many d/t and v/t graphs look different though they may be graphing the same motion. But thinking about it further, I realized that waves are one of the few times when the d/t and v/t graphs look really similar.
