Mr. Lastorka's science class is running experiments with an energy efficient model electric car, As the initial rate of energy delivered to the car, measured in watt, increases, the number of millimeters moved by the car from its starting positions increases exponentially . The results the several trial runs are shown on the scatterplot graph below. Based on the data, the students in Mr . Lastroka's class determine the exact equation involving Watts, x and total distance from start,y. They call the function y=f(x) over the x-axis. He challenges each student to determine the new function and what it would mean from a physics perspective. Four students pairs gave their answers below. Who is correct, and for what reasons? |
|
Answer» CHARLES and Shannon, who identify the new equation as `y=-2^x` and EXPLAIN that the new graph indicates that the car is still moving forward at the same RATE as before |
