HARMON vs. COATS-HAAN
~paper passing out contest~
Coats-Haan takes the lead!! 


At the beginning of class this morning we checked the "Graphing Exercises" homework from the night before where we had to describe what motion each graph was making. Directly following we jumped right in and continued with the lab that we started on Tuesday. We also had a "motion graph scavenger hunt" where we analyzed different  graphs to determine what motion they were making (this was similar to the homework from Tuesday night, just more practice). Both items were to be turned in by the end of class. However, if your group did not have time to finish the lab, Coats-Haan will accept it tomorrow at the beginning of class. In addition, we were assigned "kinematics Problems II". These are problems exactly like the ones from Monday night's homework.


Question of the Day: Describe the position vs time graph and the velocity vs time graph of Bengals wide receiver, AJ Green, if her runs with uniform motion to the end zone.

Answer: I'm not big on football, and actually have no clue who AJ Green is. However, using physics knowledge, the position vs time graph would have a linear slope. I am still confused on whether or not the slope would be positive. The velocity vs time graph would be a horizontal line. The horizontal line could not be stationed on zero because that would indicate no motion but again, I am not sure if the line would go above or below the zero.
