I still can't access my blog using any form of actual login besides this app, so I guess it'll have to do until Google figures itself out...
Physics and Honors Physics have been working through 1-dimensional motion. We defined the basic descriptors of motion, discussed the importance of a frame of reference, contrasted vector and scalar quantities and started on the mathematics of motion. The lab work for this unit centers on free-fall motion and interpreting graphs of motion and Physics F started with that today. We looked at the motion of a ball tossed into the air, analyzing position-time and velocity-time graphs of the motion. We then used a thin, heavy object to determine acceleration do to gravity. Tomorrow, we'll discuss the lab investigations and think about material for the lab write-up.
Intro Physics reviewed the graphing exercise and the took a deeper look into graph creation and interpretation. We are going to make and evaluate a large number of graphs this year, so we will see working on getting those skills hammered down as we move along. Tomorrow, we begin our work with scientific notation and be prepared to work quickly and accurately with scientific notation on your calculators.
