Hitting the Target

Physics folks outdid themselves in lab today. Precise measurements and calculations led to hitting of some tiny targets. Tomorrow, we will discuss the theory behind horizontal projectiles and get some more practice with the mathematics involved.

Honors Physics - predict a bit of everything on the exam tomorrow. I think the tally is 20 questions (Hah! Now, that's funny) and you'll get the formula sheet that has the kinematics formulas on it. Since those are the only ones you really need, that will suffice. I'll also toss in good ol' SOHCAHTOA on the board or something if you blank on those relationships. Don't forget to have 3E, 3F, 3.4 Section Review and the Chapter Review questions ready to hand in when you get to class.

Physical Science - Looked over the homework sheets and many people did well. A few could use more practice, and you can get more problems from me for extra work. Tomorrow, we will investigate acceleration down and inclined plane and how this acceleration can be influenced by angle. Hint: practice with the stopwatch before you begin taking data. They always give people difficulties when you first start to use them. Once you get the hang of how sensitive are the buttons, things will go smoothly.
