Time for a challenge
Time to test your learning! Read the problem statement twice.
Challenge #1
Do you know that you can measure the speed of your robot if you have its distance traveled as well as the time taken? The formula to calculate speed is total distance traveled / total time taken. Try to calculate the speed of your robot in each case. You can use the empty spaces in the following sections to do the math work.
Distance traveled in Activity #1 = _________ cm
Time taken = 5 seconds
Speed = ______ cm/second
Distance traveled in Activity #2 = _________ cm
Time taken = _________ seconds (run your robot again and measure the time taken)
Speed = ______ cm/second
Challenge #2
Program your robot to move forward at 80% speed for 5 seconds. Mark the start and end positions and calculate the speed of your robot.
Distance traveled = _________ cm
Time taken = 5 seconds
Speed = ______ cm/second
Did you observe that your robot has traveled...
