10-17

Today’s objectives were to review the Driving Mr. Physics packet (pg 20-25), a graded daily question, discuss tangent/shape relationship of the XT to VT, finish the activity and then work on homework. The only handed in assignment was the daily graded question (this will not need to be made up so you do not have to worry about what it was). Today’s handouts included VT Graph Descriptions and Matching: Physics one pg 27. This will be tonight’s homework assignment. As far as labs or demonstrations there was none. We worked in groups on the Mr. Physics Packet and then completed our homework with the remaining time. For the Driving Mr. Physics packet you need to make sure that all of your answers are correct. You may want to check with a classmate who was in school that day. The packet is manly dealing with the speed, direction and his motion. You also learn the acceleration formula and will have to draw a few graphs. The formula is: Acceleration=(velocity-initial velocity)/time For homework, pg 27, you will need to look at seven different graphs and determine the speed and the direction of the graphs. You will then need to match the VT graphs to the XT graphs on pg 15. There will be two XT graphs for every one VT graph. The only exception would be graph G which has three matches. Example for tonight’s homework Graph A: -Negative Direction
 * -Decreasing Speed

Graph A: matched graph I and Graph M from page 15 || (The graph should be a solid line but was not working on the computer)
