Today
we began lesson three. This lesson was about acceleration. For our lab we had
numerous people sit on the danger board and we recorded their time in 5m
increments. At first we were all having issues getting the board to actually
make it down the slope of the hill. But eventually we got the data we needed
and who thought that slippers would be a great "brake." Haha! We
continued learning more about acceleration and added to our equation board not
board. We learned the equations (d,a,t; 
), (v,a,t ; 
), and (v,a,d ; 
. We also learned how to format kinematic
equations properly. The process starts like this:
), (v,a,t ; ), and (v,a,d ; . We also learned how to format kinematic
equations properly. The process starts like this:
1.Write down question
2.Write down givens-sketch
3.Choose right equation
4.(Plug)^3 and
(Chug)^3
5.Box answer
6. Check to see if it makes sense
Relating to my title we also learned
that when an object is thrown up the pattern of its acceleration is, fast,
slow, stop, slow, fast. We got to see this when Mr. Blake was throwing the pen
up and down.
My picture is a bunch of pictures
combined of my brother during his soccer lesson. I thought about the pattern of
the acceleration and realized that when my brothers coach would throw the ball
up, every time my brother hit it, the impact would be during the slow period on
the way down. Also when my brother made contact with the ball the acceleration
of both my brothers leg/head and the acceleration of the ball increased.

ReplyDeleteI really liked how you were able to link our lesson to soccer! I never thought of it that way until now! :)
And I like your title!!!!
DeleteThanks jess! haha i didn't think of it that way either :)
DeleteYou did a really good job at summarizing what we did yesterday with the lab and what we learned! using your brother and him playing soccer is a really good way to show acceleration, it's really creative!
