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.
