Week 12 physics

On the first day we finished up all of the rest of the projects. This took up most of the class time with the different people presenting. After everyone was done presenting, we as a class look at this pulley lab he asked if the, if he lets it go one of the sides with a weigh on it will it make the pulley move. I said no, some people agreed but others disagreed. So we tested it and it moved. The reason for showing use this was to see who would be right about the lab. The next day we tested the same pulley with different weights and he let it go it didn't move. It turn out that yesterday that the weight was to small to be Accurate so he switch the weights with bigger ones. But then we did another test what if he gave one side a little pull would it slow down stop or move at a constant rate. I choose a constant rate and so did the most of the class. We tested this and we where right. The reason for this was to show objects can move and still be at a constant. We also answer some question on a piece of paper. On the next day each group was assigned a different problem and we white boarded and presented the problems. The reason for this was to make sure everyone is on the same page. On the next day we did this race car lab. We where trying to find was the velocity constant if the car is pulled by a weight at the end of a low friction track. We first found out if it takes alot of weight to pull the car. The reason for this was to see how it would act on the car. On the next day we had a assessment. The assessment wasn't very hard, it was all stuff that we have seen before. I fell pretty confident in this assessment. Once everyone was done with the assessment we finished up the lab from yesterday.

Week 11 physics

This week we presented are bridge designs. We also had a Presentation that went along with the bridge. During the testing of the bridge design we put weights on the bridge to see how much it could handle. When we where putting on the weights i was a little nervous, but we ended up holding all the weights possible. So in my experience this project was a complete success

Week 10 physics

On the first day we talked about the project that is due monday next week.we talked alot about the what you can use and what type of designs you can use to. We also talked about what is pulling or pushing more on the bridge the weigh on it or the earths forces pulling more. On the second day we talked about force pares and what are force pares. We did many examples to support and show what force paring is. On the third day i wasn't present in class. On the forth day we talked and went over what going to be on the test tomorrow. Are group went to the back of the class to study for the assessment. On the forth day we took the assessment it was pretty easy given the fact we had the same type of questions the day before. I believe that i did very well on this assessment

Week 8 physics

On the first day we where asked questions about how the three weights hanging off the table and how they can balance. we tested and tried many different ways to balance. We found that the different angles affect the balance of the forces. The reason for this was because we find do different angle effect balance of the forces. On the second day we got a sheet with different forces on them. There where eight questions and are group got question eight on the sheet we had to answer the problem and white board the data. The reason for this was to make sure that we got the concept of the different forces acting in the different problems. On the third day we presented the white board and saw in the different groups how the forces act in their problems. The reason for this is so we can see different problems. Thursday is the day we had did many force test the first was when we had 4 different people lay there heads on each other laps. All at different angles. We also dod other standing by the wall test. No body past those. The reason for this was to show how your center of gravity changes.
