10-3

Today in Physics class, we walked into the class and noticed that Mr. Manning updated grades. Taped to the cabinets on the right, are the most recent grades (he updates them every Friday). Also, when we walked in, on the way to our seats we had to pick up two papers on the front table. Those papers were "Graphin' The Walk Lab", pages 6 and 7, and "Unit 3 Reading Guide". The reading guide is due on the day we take the unit 3 test. We started the Graphin' The Walk Lab, which I will get to later. Then Mr. Manning passed back out Unit 2 tests, out of 18 points. We went over both sides of that test. He also passed back the Unit 2 Reading Guide, which was worth 20 points. We handed in "Talkin' The Talk" which is pages 4 and 5. After we went over those items, we worked on the Daily Question. It was not graded though. This is what the Daily Question was: "Stickboy walked from his house to his busstop (55.3 meters away). However, Stickboy forgot his physics book, so he had to run back to his house. What was his distance traveled? What was his displacement?" Here is a picture I drew, to help you visualize the daily question situation.....



110.6 m is the distance, because you must add the two distances of 55.3 together. The displacement is 0 m because final and initial positions are the same, so when you subtract them you get 0. Then for the rest of the period we went out in the hallway (the whole class) and we set a tape measure out. We had people record times and distances for when people walked different speeds. We had someone record all of the times people got. Then at the very end of class, Mr. Manning typed up the results and we were to copy them down on our "Graphin' the Walk Lab Part 1" worksheet. That's all we did in class, and we did not have any homework.
