For Monday, December 12
Sections 2 & 3: Complete the following 'experiment' at home and write your findings in your notebook.
You will need a small round object and a string. This is an experiment best done outside, but if you must do it inside, make sure you are using a soft object!
Attach the object to the end of the string. Holding on to the end of the string without the object, swing the object until it is moving with uniform circular motion. Once you have the made a perfect circle, let go of the string and watch the object's trajectory. Make a note of the direction of it's movement. Repeat this experiment 6 times and see if you can notice any patterns. Finally, answer the following question:
Since acceleration is a rate, it can only have one direction (and we know it must have a direction since it is a vector quantity). Since the direction of the object is constantly changing, acceleration obviously can't be in the direction of the object's movement. So, in which direction is the object accelerating?

Thank You!
Gents-
Thank you so much for your generosity towards our 'T-giving $' fund. I was able to use the $57 in cash to buy 12 cartons of shelf stable milk, 10 can of chicken broth and 2 cans of canned fruit. I also donated over $10 in coins to the Campus Ministry office to help them fund service trips! I am so proud to be the teacher of such generous young men...way to go!

Here's your assignment for the day: Watch for following video - you will hear and see Mr. Lavy solving a 2-D motion problem. We started to talk about this in class - most importantly how we have to classify our givens in the x and y dimensions now. Watching this video should help you understand what this means in terms of problem solving with our kinematic equations.
Projectile Motion Video
Now read pages 155 - 158 in your textbook. Use the video and the example problem on page 157 to help you attempt #9 on page 158. Do all the work in your notebook.
Good Luck Gents!
