Summer 2006 I2T2 Process Page 23. PR3 & PR4 CBR Activities Using EasyData for CBL/CBR Apps The TI Exploration Series for CBR or CBL/CBR books, are all written for the old CBL/CBR Application. Now we can use an easier program call EasyData. New Instructions: 1. Run the EasyData Applications 2. Press Setup 3. 1:Dist here is where you change units from meter to feet. Notice most programs are written in meters. 4. Setup a. If you see Ball Bounce then choose number 4 or Distance Match choose 3 b. If you don t see Distance Match or Ball Bounce then pick Time Graph i. If the instructions say SET DEFAULTS then the program is needs to have 15 seconds. You need to Press Edit and change your Sample Interval (s): and Number of Samples: to the settings below. ii. If you see 1: SETUP/SAMPLE You must look at the time and adjust your Time Graph Setting: Choose 2.

Use the upperward button to get to the end of the list. Press ENTER and you will see the following screen. Press ENTER and select 2:Install. 2. Press ENTER again and you will go back to the home screen. Press Y =, you will see the follow screen. Now when you press Y =, you will see that the left margin of this screen has changed. This change is so that you know that you are in Transformation APPS. You can only do one equation in this application. You must go back to Transformation APPS and 1:Uninstall Type in an equation in y1. Use Apha keys to type in the coefficients. 3. Press Window to show that this screen has changed as well. Arrow up to settings and use the down arrow until the cursor is flashing on A and then ENTER a value such as 1. Scroll down again until the cursor is flashing on B and ENTER a value such as 1. The step should be equal to how much you want each value to change each time. I used step =.2 4. Press the right or left cursor keys and watch the values of A and B change by each step value. Now you can match your equation to your data. 5. What did the changes do? By changing the values of A and B you change the slope and y-intercept and show how these changes make the graph of the line change. 6. The second row arrow are set up to do an animated slide show. You can set the increments and the number of slides you wish to show the movement of the function.

What affects the shape of the graphs of both the height and the velocity? In this activity, you will graph the height of a ball versus time after it is dropped from some height. You will then examine one ball bounce and investigate the parameters that affect the shape of the graph. You will also explore the relationship between the height of the ball and the velocity. The relationship is expressed mathematically as: y = ax 2 + bx + c or y = a(x h) 2 + k YOU NEED: 1 CBR Unit or CBL and Motion Detector CBL/CBR APPS Transformation APPS Racquet ball

Summer 2006 I2T2 Process Page 28. Name Data Collection Graph. 1. Graph your first graph of 5 or more bounces. Label your axis QUESTIONS: 1. The goal is to capture the data of one parabola. Use the TRACE-Right Arrow key to a point near the vertex of the single parabola you selected. Record this point in the table below. X coordinate = B value Vertex Y coordinate = C value 2. The ball bounced straight up and down beneath the detector, yet the plot seems to depict a ball that is bouncing sideways. Explain why this is so. 3. The model for the distance vs. time data is quadratic. Fit your data with a quadratic function in standard form: y = a( x b) 2 + c ( or y = a(x h) 2 + k ). Where b is the x-coordinate of the vertex, c is the y-coordinate of the vertex, and a is the constant. (Hint: the value is equal to the g value, which comes from the physics formula: s(t) = - ½g t 2 + v 0 t + s 0 where g = 32 feet per second or g = 9.8 in meters per second. Remember we choose feet in the ranger APPS) 4. Write and equation of the form y = A(x B) 2 + C. a. For the B value type in your x-coordinate from the vertex. b. For the C value type in your y-coordinate from the vertex. c. Now you need to find a constant A to experiment until you get the best fit. Equation: A= B = C =

To check your work, place both equation. a. Clear out the equation and type in y1 = type in your answer from question 4 b. In y2 = type in your answer from question 5 and go to the front of Y2 and change the type of graph to 0. This will show you the path of the equation and leave a trail. 7. The TI-83 or TI-84 has a built in feature that allows you to compute the best fitting quadratic equation through a set of data. This procedure is called a quadratic regression. The values you found for A and B can be tested using a built-in feature of the TI 83 that allows it to compute the best-fitting line through a set of data. To perform a quadratic regression on the data you collect, press STAT and select QuadReg to copy the command to the home screen. On the home screen type in L3, L4, vars then y vars then y2 Home screen: QuadReg L3, L4, Y3 Write your results here and make sure the diagnostic is turned on. Answers should be given in 4 decimal places. QuadReg Y = ax 2 + bx + c a = b = c = Go to the y = menu and in front of Y3 change the type of graph to 0 this will show the graph going over the plot. How do they compare the a, b and c in #5 from above? 8. Explain the role of the a in the equation y = ax 2 + bx + c.

Summer 2006 I2T2 Process Page 31. WALK THE LINE When one quantity changes at a constant rate with respect to another, we say they are linearly related. Mathematically, we describe this relationship by defining a linear equation. In real-world applications, many quantities are linearly related and can be represented by using a straight-line graph. In this activity, you will create constant speed distance versus time plots using a CBR (CBL and motion detector), and then develop linear equations to describe these plots mathematically. YOU NEED: 1 CBR Unit or CBL and Motion Detector CBL/CBR APPS Transformation APPS

Summer 2006 I2T2 Process Page 34. Name Data Collection Graph your data and label your axis QUESTIONS: 1. The slope-intercept form of a liner equation is y = MX + B Where M is the slope or steepness of the line and B is the intercept or starting value. In this activity, the control variable, X, represents time and Y represents distance. Press TRACE and use the arrow keys on your calculator to move the cursor along your Distance versus Time plot. Identify the starting value (the Y-value when X = 0 ) and record this below as the intercept, B. B = 2. Go to the y = and type in y1 = Ax + B. A is equal to M the slope. You should see and A= number and B = number along with your graph. In the B= type in the number from question one. Now change the number in A until the line matches the graph of distance versus time. A = (slope) Write the equation in the form of slope intercept form y = mx + b (y = Ax + B) Equation Turn off the Transformation APPS. a. Go to the APPS menu and Transfrm then ENTER and then 1:Uninstall b. Clear out the equation and type in y1 = type in your answer from question 2 c. Check your answer compared to your graph. 3. Go to y = and turn the y1 equation off. (un-highlight the equals )

Try to pick the points so that they are not too close together. X1 Y1 X2 Y2 When the coordinates of two points on the dame line are know, the slope of the line can be Computed by finding the difference in y values divided by the difference of x values. y2! y1 slope = x! x 2 1 Use this formula to compute the slope of the linear plot and record the result below. Slope = How does this value compare with the value of A you found experimentally in question 2? 4. The values you found for A and B can be tested using a built-in feature of the TI 83 that allows it to compute the best-fitting line through a set of data. This procedure is called linear regression. To perform a linear regression on the data you collect, press STAT and select LinReg (ax + b) to copy the command to the home screen. On the home screen type in L1, L2, vars then y vars then y2 Home screen: LinReg (ax + b) L1, L2, Y2 Write your results here and make sure the diagnostic is turned on LinReg Y = ax + b a = b = r = Go to the y = menu and in front of Y2 change the type of graph to 0 this will show the graph going over the plot.

Remember, slope is defined as change in y-values divided by change in x- values. Complete the following statement about slope for the linear data set you collected. In this activity, slope represents a change in divided by a change in. Based on this statement, what are the units of measurement for slope in this activity? 6. As mentioned earlier, the intercept value, B, can be interpreted as the starting position or the starting distance from the motion detector (ranger). What does the value of M represent physically? Hint: think about the units of measurement fro the slope you described in question 5.
