Essential Questions
What is the relationship between speed, distance, and time, and how are they calculated?
How can we use trends from track and field competitions to make predictions for future competition results?
Are average speed and speed the same at all points in a race?
How can we use a graph to analyze a runner’s speed in a race?
How does our stride length relate to wavelength, and how can we use this data to calculate the frequency of a runner?
What is the difference between motion and landing position of objects dropped straight down to those with projectile motion?
How does the concept of energy conservation relate to the pole vault?

Chapter Challenge (pp. 140-141)
TASOK is going to send a track and field team to the Penn Relays
You need to write a physics manual to train the TASOK team and help them improve their performance for 3 different track & field events (must include 1 field and 1 track event) which includes the following:
Include a description of the physics principles related to the eventsProvide specific techniques to improve performance (diagrams recommended)Help students compare themselves with their competitors (i.e. are there different techniques for your events?)
Due Date: April 12

Day 1: Running the Race
Learning Objectives:Measure distance in meters along a straight lineUse a stopwatch to measure the amount of time for a person to travel a measured distanceUse measurements of distance and time to calculate the average speed of a running personCompare the average speeds of a running person during segments of a runCompare the average speeds of different persons running along the same pathInfer factors which affect the average speed of a running person

Starter (cont’d)Very few people can run the 100m in under 10s (Usain Bolt ran it in 9.63s at this past summer’s Olympic Games)
How can you measure a runner’s speed?
Does running twice as far take twice as much time? Explain.
What time do you think Usain Bolt ran (& won) the 200m finals in at this past Olympics?
Time: 15 minutes
![Page 7: Unit 7](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062810/56815c56550346895dca54b1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Activity 1You will be put into groups of 5 people
Choose 1 person in the group who will run 20m
The other 4 people will be timers
Mark out a 20m “track” with markers every 5m (ie. At 0m, 5m, 10m, 15m, and 20m)
The timers will stand at all the positions (except 0m) and record the time it takes for the runner to start to get to their position
How will you calculate the time taken to run the 5m interval you need to time?
The person at the 5m mark will be the starter
Run 3 trials, giving the runner a couple of minutes in between to rest. This is when you can record your data
Time: 30 minutes

Activity 2Calculate the speed at the different intervals and complete your table
How do you calculate the different times? You will need to work together and have everyone’s data to calculate these.
What was the runner’s average speed for the 4 intervals?
Does running twice as far take twice as much time?
What is the runner’s average speed for the entire 20m? How does this compare to the 4 intervals?
Which interval did the runner have the greatest speed? How does this compare to other group’s data?
Time: 15 minutes

Activity 3Graph the data you collected, using the average time for each of the four intervals
What type of graph will you use?
What information goes on the x-axis? The y-axis?
Give your graph an appropriate title
Time: 10 minutes
