 Mon-Tues Sept 14-15

Begin Ch 2 – Motion

BW – Your car’s speedometer reads 60 mph.  How fast is your car traveling compared to the telephone poles?

1. How fast are YOU (your body) traveling compared to the telephone poles?
2. How fast are YOU traveling compared to your CAR?
3. A car passes you at 75 mph. How fast is his car traveling compared to your car?

Feel free to sketch illustrations to demonstrate your reasoning.
