Question

There are 3 pages to this Lab...the first page is just an example of how they calculated and plotted the points for minutes 0-6. The last page shows the map of asteriods on a grid...we are suppose to find the quickest path from start to finish (by guessing a time, calculating the x and y coordinates and plotting those points). The goal is to find the path within 10 steps or less, without hitting the asteroids .

I've listed the rules below:

1) List 2) Start with velocity 0,0. 3) Each turn is one minute, each square is 1.0km. 4) Each turn , you may accelerate by plus or minus 1.0km/min^2 in both x and y. 5) You must finish at the rescue site with the velocity 0,0 (not adjacent). 6) Fuel consumption is 5kg/acceleration unit

Lab 3: Space Race Equipment: Handout sheet Instructions: Go through a demonstration of how the game works on the board for a simple example. Then let them loose. Make sure you check in with them early on to make sure they are applying the rules correctly. Instruct them to plot their moves on both the map sheet and the moves sheet. Note that this lab is competitive: the better the group does compared to the other groups, the more points they get. Example: To move a ship from rest to a spot 9 spaces to the right and 6 spaces down, here is one possible sequence of tuns Time a (min) (km/min?) (km/min?) (km/min) (km/min) -1 +1 +2 .2 -2 +1 +2 Note that the ship spends both turns 5 & 6 in the finish space, because the ship must decelerate to a stop. The fuel consumption here would be S0 kg, since there is a total of 10 acceleration units. Handouts: Two pages follow. The first is the Map sheet, the second is the Rules&Moves sheet. When copying, make sure the copies are dark enough to capture the grid lines, or print the Map sheet in full color

Explanation / Answer

This is a group task and will require considerable time.This will not be easy to answer this practical over here.You better try to perform the experiment in a proper manner.All the best.
