10-7

October 7, 2008. Today in Physics we did a variety of interesting things. If you wern't there you missed out. We started class with a homework check. The homework waas a post-lab of the day before. It covered the concept of Average Velocity, working with questions and the formula:

Average Velocity = v = the change in position/time interval

Graph(e) from the homework: After that, Mr. Manning had us answer 7(seven) Daily Questions from the homework. They were:

According to the graph from the homework, answer these questions:

Who is the fastest? -Tyler Who is the slowest? -Joey What does the y-intercept mean? -Where we started the clock Who walked at the most constant speed? -Joey Who walked at the least constant speed? -Tyler What do the intersecting points mean? - At a certain time they were at the same spot Does the graph show Velocity or Speed? - Velocity

Next, we started on pg 13, a handout that was given to us at the start. We only did the first three predictions before we ran out of time. Before we left, Mr. Manning gave us a worksheet for homework (pg 12) that is due tomorrow. The questions all have to do with calculating Average Velocity and Average Speed.

That ended our wonderful day of Physics, looking forward to tomorrow.
