10-29

The class started out with a daily question on the board. The question asked that: If a ball is launched upwards at a speed of 5.3 m/s. How high does the ball travel. To find out this answer we had to plug in all the numbers we knew. The equation came to be "0m/s = (5.3m/s)^2 + 2(-9.8 m/s/s) (X)= 1.43m. This can be seen in the picture above. Mr. Manning then showed us what this looked like by shooting a ball 1.43 M into the air at the correct velocity. After discussing the daily question Mr. Manning reminded us that we are having a test tomorrow that will be between 20 and 25 points and it will be on the problems we have been working on the last two weeks. He gave us some pointers on what we should be doing to review including working on problems that we have received. These problems came on a handout that we got today called "More Kinematics Problems Review, Pgs. 43 and 44." These problems won't be collected for a grade but will be good practice for the test. We then went over problems 11-17 for a little bit and made sure that everyone understood the information. We then looked at page 42 titled "Create Your Own Problem". The purpose of this paper was to have everyone in the class create their own problem including a VT graph and a Linear Motion Diagram. We were given the last fifteen minutes of class to work on this paper and if we did not get it finished, it was homework. Remember that the extra credit accelerometer is due tomorrow and remember to study up on all of the information and be prepared for tomorrow's test!
