Kinematic Attic Notebook : Motion & Speed
Here's the data you collected on how fast you and your friends move in Whyville, in terms of how much distance (in pixels) was traveled in how much time (seconds). Hopefully, you had fun doing this!

The next step is to calculate speed by dividing distance by time. If you're driving a car, you might divide miles or kilometers by hours, resulting in miles per hour or kilometers per hour. In Whyville, speed is expressed in units of pixels per second.

Click on one of your data lines to display it in the calculation boxes. Perform the division and submit your answer. If correct, it will be added into the collaborative graph as a data point, and you'll earn 4 clams!


Sorry, you haven't recorded any data so far. Please go back and measure how fast your friends can run.
 
WHO:
PIXELS: pixels
SECONDS: seconds
SPEED = pixels per second
Enter the speed here.
Help! Show me a hint!
