 * T**oday, October 6th, 2008. Today in the wonderful world of Physics we had a Daily Question (DQ) that went something along the lines of this: Someone shoots a rocket off the ground and it goes 500 meters in the then comes back down to earth. The person shooting it is 3 meters tall and catches the rocket 3 meters off the ground. What is the total distance it traveled? What is its final position? What was the starting position and what was the toal diplacement? These 4 questions were the one we were asked and handed in for a grade.




 * T**oday was the last day to finish the "Graphin' the Walk" Lab. Mostly everybody finished it except for a select few. In the lab there were 3 walkers: one goin away slowly, one goin away fast, and the other coming towards at whatever speed. Sammy Steele was the recorder of the times the timers recorded as the walker walked by. The amazing Manning then put the times on the screen and everybody got the results. They were then to go get a laptop and use Graphical Analysis and graph the times an position. After we did that, we answered some questions about the graphs and the lab.
 * T**he homework for today is a packet called "More on XT-Graphs Questions". Although the homework may look lenghty, i am sure that the almighty Manning made it pretty easy so that it wouldnt take too much time out of our busy schedules.
 * S**o that is what went down in Physics on October 6th, 2008. Thank you all!!
