Those Pesky Projectiles

Physics D, F and Honors Physics worked with projectiles launched at an angle today and will continue on with that tomorrow. If you're not getting it to come together for you quite yet, just keep working at it and remember to ask me or a neighbor for help in class. There are lots of little places where you can go wrong and it doesn't take a large mistake to make a big difference in your final answer. For everyone, we're looking towards next Friday as your exam for this chapter, so let's make sure to hammer these skills down to prepare for that assessment.

Intro Physics lost over half the class due to Peer Mentoring. We had time to go over the homework and discuss tomorrow's lab, but not really dive into the new topic of friction. Therefore, on Wednesday, we'll use tomorrow's lab investigation on static and kinetic friction as a model for our conversation on the topic of friction, which is the last bit of new material in this chapter. Exam looks like it's going to be next Friday, so be prepared!
