Knowing that the equation for time it takes for a pendulum to swing 1 complete swing is y=4 seconds (from the length of the string), find the time for one complete swing starting at a 90 degree angle.

What is 4 seconds?

Identify the Reasoning in this CER. 

A hand's distance from the hinge affects the force needed to push open a door. The closer a hand is to the hinge, the harder it is to push open. At a distance of 0.25 meters it takes 60 newtons but a distance of 0.5 meters takes 30 newtons of force. Since the smaller distance takes more force, it follows that the closer a hand is to the hinge, the harder it is to push open.

What is "Since the smaller distance takes more force, it follows that the closer a hand is to the hinge, the harder it is to push open"?

Identify the claim in this CER. 

A hand's distance from the hinge affects the force needed to push open a door. The closer a hand is to the hinge, the harder it is to push open. At a distance of 0.25 meters it takes 60 newtons but a distance of 0.5 meters takes 30 newtons of force. Since the smaller distance takes more force, it follows that the closer a hand is to the hinge, the harder it is to push open.

What is "The closer a hand is to the hinge, the harder it is to push open"?

When graphed on both sides of the y axis, this curve is shaped like a U.

What is a quadratic curve/parabola?

300

When you compare and contrast the rate of change between horizontal lines and inversely proportional graphs, you'll notice this.

What are horizontal lines have a constant rate of change while inversely proportional curves do not?

400

This curve is shaped like a crooked C.

What is inversely proportional?

400

The equation for inversely proportional pattern is this.

What is y=c/x?

400

Complete the data table of an inversely proportional curve when c=15 and x=1, 2, 4, 6.

What is y=15, 7.5, 3.75, and 2.5?

400

Predict the Time of one swing of a flagpole knowing that time=30/frequency and the frequency is 2Hz.

What is 15 seconds?

400

Provide reasoning for this claim and evidence. "The angle of the swing does not affect the time it takes for a pendulum to complete 1 complete swing. At starting angles of 50, 60, and 150, it took the pendulum 5 seconds to complete one swing."

What is "since three different data points at different angles took the same amount of time, it follows that the angle of the swing does not affect the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one swing"?

500

The difference between a quadratic curve and an inversely proportional curve is that inversely proportional curve has these at the x and y axes.

What are horizontal and vertical asymptotes?

500

The difference between proportional and inversely proportional relationships with c is this.

What is proportional multiplies by c while inversely proportional divides by c?

500

Compare and contrast all four graph patterns when c=20 for x=1 and 2 and name 1 similarity and 1 difference.

What is x=1 y=20 for all graphs and x=2 yields different values for all graphs (y=20, 30, 80, and 10)?

500

Predict the distance a ball is dropped (m) at a time of 4 seconds knowing that distance=20*time2.

What is 320m?

500

Write a CER using evidence from the graph to describe how pen A is different than pen B.

What is "Pen A uses more ink per meter than pen B. At 1 m, pen A uses 25mL of ink while pen B uses 17mL of ink. Since pen B uses 17 mL while pen A uses 25 mL to write a 1m line, it follows that pen A uses more ink per meter than pen B"?
