this scene defies physics because inertia. since the truck has more mass momentum and no force and the thing has 0 he would have to move since the momentum has to be equal. this would not work in real life because he did not move at all and the car would hurt him or kill him and send him flying backwards; in other words, he wouldnt be able to just stand there and stop the truck from moving forward.

vector labe by jimmy philibin

For our game of vector racing we used the oval track. Weused Newton’s 1st and 2nd law to have the quickest lap.The reason for this is the dot for the game is always in motion where you clickfor the moves the dot will be your acceleration with mass. As long as your dotdoes not hit the wall your score will show it, if you were t0o hit the wall itwould result in a minus five point penalty. These laws apply to the game becausethe car will continue to move constantly unless another outside force isapplied to the object.

Vector Racing Game
In our game we used the oval track. By using Newton’s 1st
and 2nd law allowed me to win the race. It helped me win the race
because newton’s 1st law is an object in motion will remain in
motion unless other force is applied. So, the car will constantly be moving
forward except when it crashes into the wall which you will then restart back
onto the tracks. Newton’s first two laws
apply to this game because a an object will constantly be moving unless if
other force is applied to it such as running into another object like a wall or
car.

For the game I used the oval track. I had to use newtons 1st and 2nd law to do well in this race. this is because the dot is in motion and where you click for the next move for the dot will be your acceleration with the mass constant. the dot will continue to be in the lead or get a good score unless it hits a wall which results in minus five points. theses laws apply to driving a care because the car will continue to move unless another outside force is applied for example hitting the brake or hitting another object.

option number 6

Winning the game required me to apply newtons first law because the first law states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless another force is applied. In the case of the race, the car will remain going forward unless it hits the wall. You also need to apply Newton's second law. if you add force going to the left to make your car go foward the car will continue to go toward that way unless an object gets in the way. the more acceleration you apply to your next move the farther it will go father since that mass is always the same since its the same car. theses principals apply to my driving because if i go 30mph compared to 40mph it will take longer to get to my destination. in the snow the acceleration will need to be less in the snow due to the amount of pressure the snow adds to the ground

water blog post carolyn and Mack

while the water first goes up into the air, gravity pushes the water down. once it reaches its peak gravity pull the water back down with a acceleration of 9.8m/s until it reaches the bottom of the drinking fountain in this picture for example

From 2:38 to 2:48
The motion Wile E. Coyote does that is impossible is that he keeps a constant speed while traveling over a distance of 490 meters while going up and down hills and making turns left and right. Since it was obvious that he kept a constant speed, we tried to find the distance by using the distance formula. We used d=4.9m/s squared*10 seconds and found taht it was 490 meters, which is too long of a distane to complete with a consistant velocity and in 10 seconds.

Projectile motion photo post

This photo illustrates projectile motion by the water going up at a rate and hitting the top at a velocity of 0 and then falling back down at the same rate as it went up. During all of this, the water is shooting outwards instead of going up. It went up, the water would go up and fall down onto itself which doesn't make a projectile motion.

2:04 to 2:10

In the video Wile E. Coyote jumps off the cliff. usually when you jump off something you go down right away. However, Wile is horizontal for the whole time. the problem with this is that there is gravity which will acceleration will go up 9.8 every second when jumping off a cliff or anything for that matter. with the equation for distance d=-4.9*t^2, if Wile's jump was correct he would not be able to stay horizontally stable for that long.

Becoming a Member of the Blog

Your first task as a member of the blog (and the class) is to accept the invitation to be an author. Mr. Rylander, another Physics Studies teacher, has put together a wonderful video that steps students through the task of accepting the invitation and logging in for the first time. The video is shown below.

Once you have completed this first task, you will be ready to create your first blog post.

Creating a New Blog

Once you have logged in for the first time and accepted your invitation to be a contributing member (i.e., author) of this blog, your next task is to create your first blog post. For any extension project that involves posting a video, photo, or reflection to the blog, you will need to create and publish a "post." A post is simply a short article that appears on our class blog.

Once more, Mr. Rylander (a Physics Studies teacher) has put together a very useful instructional video on how to create your first post. The video is shown below.

Once you have created and published your post, it should be visible on the blog.
