Wheels and Distance
In this unit you will;
Terms you need to know for this unit.
Before taking the quiz you need to know or be able to
- Run the robot multiple times with different size wheels to determine the relationship between wheel size and the distance the robot travels.
- Record and analyize information using a data table.
- Determine the accuracy of your work by calcuating percent error.
Terms you need to know for this unit.
- Radius
- Diameter
- Circumference (how do you calculate from radius or diameter)
- Rotation (how many degrees equals one rotation and how to convert back and forth)
- Degrees
- Percent Error
Before taking the quiz you need to know or be able to
- Know what the hypothesis of the whole unit is! (Hint; how far does the robot travel per wheel rotation.)
- Determine the correct information that goes in each box of the data table, including calculating an averange (mean).
- Be able to convert rotations to degrees and degrees to rotations.
- Know how to calculate the circumference of a circle (wheel).
- If given the circumference calculate the diameter of the wheel.
- If given the distance traveled and rotations be able to calculate wheel circumference and diameter.
- If given the the distance traveled and wheel size be able to calculate the amount of wheel rotations (or degrees).
- Use the data table to calculate the percent error if given the formula.
- What is the general relationship between wheel size and how far the robot will travel. What happens when you change wheel size?
