Kelsey Carr Today in Mr. Manning’s physics class, we went over the homework that was assigned the night before. After doing this we were to finish the woolly mammoth problems from the packet he gave us a couple day before. The questions asked things like where an elephant should be placed for a projectile (rock) thats being rolled down a ramp (off a cliff) to hit it on the head. The point of the problem was to find variables like the velocity of the projectile (rock) or the height that it was dropped from. After we did the packet we took a small test that I aced. The test was all about what we had done on the homework even if you didn't do it all you needed to know what was going on in the class and you did well. When we finished the test we talked about starting the woolly lab, Mr. Manning told us that we would have project a small ball off of a ramp and calculate the distance it will travel and the speed it will travel. Then a height will be given to us and we have to alter our height so that the ball hits him on the head. We have to use all of the stuff we have been working on in order to find out where to place the woolly mammoth. Because no group will have the same height we must use the equations given to us so we can find out everything that we need. Then we went to see the play
