Exam Friday!

Today we finished up the motion maps & graphing WS that was started Friday and got all answers corrected.  This will be used to refer to just like notes over the next week or so, including Thursday's lab activity.
We have an exam Friday, so be studying!  The worksheets and book homework handed back today (and from the past weeks) will be relevant, reading chapter 3 (motion, velocity, displacement, etc.) will help, and reviewing graph matching, slope, etc.  is important.  If you want some extra speed, distance, time practice, try these:  (the answers are below)
1. Traveling at 65 miles/hour, how many minutes will it take to drive 125 miles to San Diego?
2. Traveling at 25 m/s, how many meters do you travel in 1 second?
3a. Sally Leadfoot was pulled over on her way from Syracuse to Ithaca by an officer claiming she was speeding.  The speed limit is 80 km/hr and Sally had traveled 47 km in 36 minutes.  

How fast was Sally’s average speed?   (in km per hour!)
3b. Does she deserve a ticket?

1.9 hours, 25   , 78 km/h, that depends on instantaneous speed!
