Now that we have determined what relations and functions are we are going to create one of our own. We will be completing an exercie in cycling in which we measure our cadence as well as our distance travelled. Cadence in cycling refers to the number of times per minute that the crank shaft, the peddle, makes a full revolution around. Cadence is measured in rpm, rotaions per minute, and is unitless. In our assignment distance travelled will be in miles simply because the stationary bikes we will be using measure distance in miles

ORDER OF OPERATIONS

1. Once in your groups decide which member will cycle at which cadence.

2. Cyclists number 1 gets on the bike and practice cycling at your designated cadence, it is crucial that you maintain a constant pedal rotation for this experiment.

3. When you feel you have mastered cycling at a constant pace reset the the bike and then begin cycling at your cadence for EXACTLY one minute.

4. When your one minute is up, quickly read off the distance you travelled and record it in the table provided.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 with the other members of your group.

6. When all members have cycled and their distances recorded return to class and plot your data on the class results graph.
