Fun on the Bus
The science of force and motion is all around us. Begin your discoveries as you travel on the bus to
Lake Compounce.
1. Make some predictions. If a ball were attached to a string suspended from the ceiling of the bus,
predict its motion:
a.
when the bus starts up and is accelerating forward
b.
while the bus is moving at a constant speed
c.
when the bus is coming to a stop at a traffic light or stop sign
d.
when the bus is making a left hand turn
e. when the bus is making a right hand turn
2. Using either yourself as the experiment or a suspended ball, record the actual motion that you
observe in each of the cases above:
a.
b.
c.
d.
