2.1.2 discuss: defining distance and displacement
1. you often hear people, particularly tv announcers, talk about a "high rate of
speed." what do you think they mean? according to the specifics of physics
definitions, what are they really saying?
2. what other "science" words do you hear getting thrown around in general
conversation? do you think these words are being used in the precise way that
scientists use them?
3. what kinds of difficulties do you foresee when scientists and non-scientists try
to communicate?
