Model Down:
Announcer: Welcome to the 2018 Model showdown of
Madagascar. My name is Sir Mustache5 and I will be your
loving host in the middle of the night. Today we have a
returning model from Egypt5 and she is beautiful looking
today. I personally think she is as beautiful as can be so
shut up all you haters out there and open your eyes.
Alexandra2 walks approximately 1.4 m/s on the runway,
until she stops1 to do a twirl at the end of the carpet. A
runway is 15 meters4. When the model starts to walk back
she rips her dress 5cm. She starts walking back at 3m/s.
Another model2 walks 1 meter/s slower3 than first model
when she walks back and reaches the end in 11 seconds.

Alexandra walks approximately 1.4 m/s on the runway,
until she stops to do a twirl at the end of the carpet. A
runway is 15 meters. When the model starts to walk back
she rips her dress 5cm. She starts walking back at 3m/s
and gets back at a total of 5 seconds. Another model walks
1 meter/s slower than first model when she walks back and
reaches the end in 11 seconds.
#1 What is another term for negative acceleration and
Provide and example of it from the article.
Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration. The model
decelerates when she get to the end of the runway.
#2 Which (object) in the article had a greater rate of
acceleration as compared to the other (object)?
The runway is 15 meters long. Alexandra walks 3m/s and
the other model walked 1m slower than Alexandra. 15m /
3m/s = 5 seconds. (3m/s-0m/s)/5s = 0.6m/s2 is Alexandria's
acceleration.
The other model’s speed is 2m/s. 15m / 2m/s= 7.5 seconds.
(2m/s - 0m/s)/7.5s= 4/15 m/s2 is the other model’s
acceleration.
#3 What term and/or phrase did the writer include in the
article to imply that (an object) is at rest, as in it is not
moving? The model Alexandra “stops” which basically
means that it is at rest.
#4 What two pieces does the writer include that are
irrelevant, as they do not provide information necessary to
solve for speed or acceleration.
“She rips her dress 5cm” and “My name is Sir Mustache
and I will be your loving host in the middle of the night.”
