Copy the problem below into a text editor or word processor.

This form accepts only text so a text editor such as Notepad is fine.

You might prefer for your own reasons to use a word processor (for example the

formatting features might help you organize your answer and explanations), but note

that formatting will be lost when you submit your work through the form.

If you use a word processor avoid using special characters or symbols, which would

require more of your time to create and will not be represented correctly by the

form.

As you will see within the first few assignments, there is an easily-learned

keyboard-based shorthand that doesn't look quite as pretty as word-processor

symbols, but which gets the job done much more efficiently.

You should enter your answers using the text editor or word processor. You will

then copy-and-paste it into the box below, and submit.

An automobile rolls 10 meters down a constant incline with slope .05 in 8 seconds,

starting from rest. The same automobile requires 5 seconds to roll the same

distance down an incline with slope .10, again starting from rest.

At what average rate is the automobile's acceleration changing with respect to the

slope of the incline?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

.05 slope vAve='ds/'dt=10m/8s=1.25m/s^2

.10 slope vAve='ds/'dt=10m/5s=2m/s^2

@& 10 m / 8 s = 1.25 m/s, not 1.25 m/s^2, and this is an average velocity, not an acceleration.*@

*#&!*#&!

@& Please calculate the acceleration for each trial, then complete the rest of the question. You're welcome to ask additional questions if necessary.

When you resubmit, be sure you have included the entire 'seed' question. There are additional question that aren't included here.
