Today Mr. Manning was sick and we had a substitute Mr. Comi hahah. Mr. Comi handed out a packet to the class and we had to work on the packet for the entire class. Mr. Manning gave us instructions on how to do the packet. First we had to read the packet, then we had to lable all the numbers in every problem as either a initial velocity, final velocity, displacement, acceleration, or a time. Then we had to make a Velocity-Time Graph for each problem. For an example here is the first problem in the packet. #1. Michael Johnson was jogging around the track one day at 4.0 m/s, when his coach told him to pick up the pace. At that time (which we'll call t = 0.0 s), Michael accelerated at 2.0 m/s/s for 4.0 s to reach his final speed. Then we had to answer these questions : A. How fast was Michael moving at the end of his acceleration? B. How far did he move during the time he was accelerating? C. What was Michael's average velocity during the acceleration? D. How does his average velocity compare with his initial and final velocities? In the packet we also learn about Velocity-Time Graphs, Kinematics Equations, and Linear Motion Diagrams. We did the packet to be ready for my main man Manning returning to school.
