TPJ Tyler Deshong 11/5/08 Period 4

Objectives: Finish Lab/ Recorder's Report/ Hand-in TPJ's Discussion After walking into class students picked two sheets of paper. First was the Newtons 2nd Law of Motion Notes: Physics 1 which was page 6. The sheet contained equations needed for future problems. The second sheet of paper was the Newton's 2nd Law (Law of Acceleration) sheet which was page 6b. This sheet states Newton's 2nd law which is, “When an unbalanced force acts on a particle, the particle accelerates such that the product of the mass and the acceleration of the particle equal the unbalanced force.” The mathematical statement for Newton's 2nd Law is, “If the sum of all of the forces acting on the particle is less or greater than 0, then the net force is equal to the mass of that particle times the acceleration of that particle.” After the students received these sheets of paper Mr. Manning told the class that he has the TPJ schedule and that he will post it. Next the class broke into their lab groups and worked on finishing their Force and Motion Labs. This lab used a little cart with a string connected to the back which hung off a ledge. On the cart was 1 Kilogram and then the students would put many different amounts of weights on the dangling string to see how the carts acceleration would differ from the amount of weight dangling. Most students finished this lab today however some were still left with a few questions to answer so Mr. Manning told the students that they will have 5 minutes tomorrow to finish with their partners.
