Toy Train Collision - Motion    COURSE_COMMUNITIES_WORD_ID


Course Topic(s): Developmental Math | Modeling: Dev Math | Linear Equations | Functions

The purpose of this lab is to investigate motion, and the use of the equation (d=rt). The velocity of each train will be determined, and then the class will calculate the time/location of a collision between these two trains.
