20:03:19 `q001. Note that there are 14 questions in this assignment. If an object moves 12 meters in 4 seconds, then at what average rate is the object moving? Explain how you obtained your result in terms of commonsense images.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 12m/4s=3m/s If there are 12 boxes that represent meters and 4 blocks that represent seconds, then dividing those blockes will give you 3m/s. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:04:23 Moving 12 meters in 4 seconds, we move an average of 3 meters every second. We can imagine dividing up the 12 meters into four equal parts, one for each second. Each part will have 3 meters, corresponding to the distance moved in 1 second, on the average.

20:06:16 `q002. How is this problem related to the concept of a rate?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> A rate is one variable change over the change in another variable. Here the change in meters is with respect to the change in time. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:08:25 A rate is obtained by dividing the change in a quantity by the change in another quantity on which is dependent. In this case we divided the change in position by the time during which that change occurred.

20:09:46 `q003. Is object position dependent on time or is time dependent on object position?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> An objects's position is dependant on time like the position of an object moving 3m/s at one second it is at 3m. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:10:45 Object position is dependent on time--the clock runs whether the object is moving or not so time is independent of position. Clock time is pretty much independent of anything else.

......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:11:19 `q004. So the rate here is the average rate at which position is changing with respect to clock time. Explain what concepts, if any, you missed in your explanations.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> No concepts missed. confidence assessment: 3

......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:11:39 You should always self-critique your work in this manner. Always critique your solutions by describing any insights you had or errors you makde, and by explaining how you can make use of the insight or how you now know how to avoid certain errors. Also pose for the instructor any question or questions that you have related to the problem or series of problems.

20:13:43 `q005. If an object is displaced -6 meters in three seconds, then what is the average speed of the object what is its average velocity? Explain how you obtained your result in terms of commonsense images and ideas.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> This is going to be 2m/s. Since there is no ""negative speed"". confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:13:56 Speed is the average rate at which distance changes, and distance cannot be negative. Therefore speed cannot be negative. Velocity is the average rate at which position changes, and position changes can be positive or negative.

20:16:49 `q006. If `ds stands for the change in the position of an object and `dt for the time interval during which the position changes, then what expression stands for the average velocity vAve of the object during this time interval?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 'ds/'dt=vAve This is in computer form the formula for the average velocity. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:17:20 Average velocity is rate of change of position. Change in position is `ds and change in clock tim is `dt, so vAve = `ds / `dt.

20:18:16 `q007. How do you write the expressions `ds and `dt on your paper?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Using the capital delta symbols beside the varibles. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:18:35 You use the Greek capital Delta symbol Delta. `d is often used here because the symbol for Delta is not interpreted correctly by some Internet browsers. You should get in the habit of thinking and writing Delta when you see `d. You may use either `d or Delta when submitting work and answering questions.

20:19:45 `q008. If an object changes position at an average rate of 5 meters/second for 10 seconds, then how far does it move? How is this problem related to the concept of a rate?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 5m/s(10s)=50m. Take the average speed and multiply it by the time to get the distance traveled. confidence assessment: 3

......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:21:11 In this problem you are given the rate at which position changes with respect to time, and you are given the time interval during which to calculate the change in position. Given the rate at which one quantity changes with respect to another, and the change in the second quantity, how do we obtain the resulting change in the first?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> mulitplication. The average rate of change times the change in the dependant variable will give the result. self critique assessment: 3

......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:23:41 `q009. If vAve stands for the rate at which the position of the object changes (also called velocity) and `dt for the time interval during which the change in position is to be calculated, then how to we write the expression for the change `ds in the position?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> `ds=`dt*vAve Just solve the original equation for `ds instead of vAve. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:24:00 To find the change in a quantity we multiply the rate by the time interval during which the change occurs. We therefore obtain the change in position by multiplying the velocity by the time interval: `ds = vAve * `dt. The units of this calculation pretty much tell us what to do: Just as when we multiply pay rate by time (dollar / hr * hours of work) or automobile velocity by the time interval (miles / hour * hour), when we multiply vAve, in cm / sec or meters / sec or whatever, by `dt in seconds, we get displacement in cm or meters, or whatever, depending on the units of distance used.

20:25:59 `q010. Explain how the quantities average velocity vAve, time interval `dt and displacement `ds are related by the definition of a rate, and how this relationship can be used to solve the current problem problem.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> `ds = the change in position such as the object has moved 12m `dt= the change in time in which an object has moved such as 4 seconds. The vAve is just the rate or ratio of these two #'s. 12m/4s= 3m/s. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:26:16 vAve is the average rate at which position changes. The change in position is the displacement `ds, the change in clock time is `dt, so vAve = `ds / `dt.

20:27:47 `q011. The basic rate relationship vAve = `ds / `dt expresses the definition of average velocity vAve as the rate at which position s changes with respect to clock time t. What algebraic steps do we use to solve this equation for `ds, and what is our result?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> `ds=`dt*vAve Just solve the original equation for `ds instead of vAve. Multiply both sided by `dt. confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:28:06 To solve vAve = `ds / `dt for `ds, we multiply both sides by `dt. The steps: vAve = `ds / `dt. Multiply both sides by `dt: vAve * `dt = `ds / `dt * `dt Since `dt / `dt = 1 vAve * `dt = `ds . Switching sides we have `ds = vAve * `dt.

20:29:07 `q012. How is this result related to our intuition about the meanings of the terms average velocity, displacement and clock time?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Velocity is average rate vAve, displacment is `ds and `dt = clock time confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:29:22 Our most direct intuition about velocity probably comes from watching an automobile speedometer. We know that if we multiply our average velocity in mph by the duration `dt of the time interval during which we travel, we get the distance traveled in miles. From this we easily extend the idea. Whenever we multiply our average velocity by the duration of the time interval, we expect to obtain the displacement, or change in position, during that time interval.

20:30:30 `q013. What algebraic steps do we use to solve the equation vAve = `ds / `dt for `dt, and what is our result?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> take the `ds term and move it to the right side so, `dt=(`ds/vAve) confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
20:30:49 To solve vAve = `ds / `dt for `dt, we must get `dt out of the denominator. Thus we first multiply both sides by the denominator `dt. Then we can see where we are and takes the appropriate next that. The steps: vAve = `ds / `dt. Multiply both sides by `dt: vAve * `dt = `ds / `dt * `dt Since `dt / `dt = 1 vAve * `dt = `ds. We can now divide both sides by vAve to get `dt = `ds / vAve.

20:33:57 `q014. How is this result related to our intuition about the meanings of the terms average velocity, displacement and clock time?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Same relationships between the varibles in the formula and velocity, clock time, and displacement. It is possible to solve for any two variables by manipulating the equation for the unknown variable. confidence assessment: 3
