TPJ Meghan Amberik Pd. 4

Today's Objectives: Pass back papers/test, go over test, discuss worksheets Homework: None Unit 8 Test: Friday of next week

When first walking into class, there were five worksheets on the front desk we had to pick up. Today we started a new unit on circular motion.

Mr. Manning started off class today with passing papers and our tests. The majority of our class period was spent going over our test. Once going over all of the questions, we started our new unit. The worksheet we started to discuss was called Velocity, Force, and Acceleration in UCM Activities. We were only able to go over the first question. Question: What is the direction of Mr. Physics’ velocity at the point in his circular path? That is, in which direction would he be moving if the rope broke at this point? Prediction: Draw a solid arrow on the diagram to represent direction of Mr. P’s velocity at this point. After making a prediction, Mr. Manning picked a student to demonstrate the problem. Once you release the ball, it will travel in a straight line- the direction of its motion when you release it. We found that it traveled upwards. Mr. Manning then showed us a video on this demo. It was a Julius Sumner Miller video. He did the exact demonstration and we watched it in slow motion. We then ran out of time to finish the worksheet, so we will finish it tomorrow.
