Today our checks for Hershey Park were due. Everyone who is going turned theirs in to Mr. Manning. After all of the check were passed in Mr. Manning gave us a daily question. The daily question was not graded today.

The Daily question: A pool ball leaves a .60 meter high table with an initial horizontal velocity of 2.4 m/s. Predict the time required for the pool ball to fall to the ground and the horizontal distance between the tables edge and the balls landing location. __Horizontal-__ Delta X = .84m Time = .35 seconds Acceleration = 0m/s/s Initial Velocity = 2.4 m/s Final Velocity = 2.4 m/s

__Vertical-__ Delta X = .60m Time = .35 seconds Acceleration = 9.8m/s/s Initial Velocity= 0 m.s

The time required for the pool ball to fall to the ground was .35 seconds. The horizontal distance between the table's edge and the balls landing location is .84 meters.



We spent a good amount of time on this daily question. Mr. Manning went over it with us and explained how to do it. After everyone understood the daily question we moved on. Then Mr. Manning instructed us to work on pages 8-9 of our projectile unit. Everyone got into groups and did the problems. Mr Manning provided us with the answers to the questions so we could check our work. Once we had finished the two pages we were aloud to work on our amusement park physics project until the end of the period. The project is due on Monday and is worth forty points.
