TRAFFIC CAN BE EDUCATIONAL


This weekend, there was traffic while i was trying to drive home to Ewa Beach. While i was driving, i remembered that we used the motion detector in class. I was in the car with my mom trying to explain to her how it worked. Her only answer to me was "pshh! im glad we didnt have that when i was in school." Anyway, i was wondering what the motion detector would read if it was connected to the car in front of me. While i was driving, i was trying to picture what it would look like and how fun it would be to try replicate the graphs we did in class with a car. Cuz as the car would get closer the graph would go upward and as the car took off, the graph would go down. Again we see physics is part of every day life. . . as long as you know what it is!
