Simulator—Worksheet D
In this Simulator—Worksheet D, you will work with 2 planes and 2 jet routes.
- The jet route is 20 feet long.
- The jet routes meet at the 20-foot mark.
- The planes are flying at the same altitude.
- The planes are flying at the same speed.
- One plane has a HEADSTART. That is, at the time zero, one plane is closer to the point where the jet routes meet. The plane has a LEAD.
You will use the simulator to learn:
- How to find a plane’s peed using the Jet Route Panel, the Graph Panel, and the Equation Panel.
- What happens to this headstart as both planes fly at the same speed.
