Apologia Physics

Today we reviewed the test questions for Module 2.  Everyone got number 7 wrong.  The question asked was to calculate when two vehicles would collide head on if they were driving toward each other.  The key to solving the problem is to add their speeds together before calculating the time to travel the distance.  One student calculated the time for each vehicle to cover the compete distance between the two vehicles.  That did not take into consideration that the vehicles would collide before reaching the end the distance between them.  I assigned another problem from module 2 for the next class so we get more practice with this type of problem.
