More Forces and More Motion

Intro Physics conducted a lab investigation centering on projectile motion. Students had to make relevant measurements and perform calculations to predict the impact point of a ball bearing rolled off of a table. Groups had to carefully organize data and remind themselves of the properties and assumptions associated with projectile motion for their work and success was had by all, in that all groups hit their target. Tomorrow, we'll discuss the lab and review our work with 2-dimensional motion and air resistance.

Physics D and Honors Physics worked with static and kinetic friction, defining the two types, reviewing our lab on the concept for emphasis, and working on calculations involving frictional forces. Physics F is a day behind, working today with weight and the normal force, hitting friction tomorrow. For Physics D/Honors Physics tomorrow will be more work with friction and a discussion about air resistance. For all, Wednesday is review day and Thursday is our exam. On Friday - Work and Energy!
