After laboriously turning in our weekend Hewitt packets, we then proceeded to take notes over projectile motion. These notes took the majority of the class, most likely due to intermittent banter in which Coats-Haan expressed her dislike at animal cruelly but grudging admitted that Michael Vick is still a prime athletic. After Clay gave her the cold shoulder, the period seemed to decline from there. We learned some unimportant facts such as the vertical component of a projectile is independent of the horizontal component blah blah, horizontal component is in uniform motion etc. etc. More importantly we deduced that Coats-Haan’s favorite student of the day was Hunter, why this is no one knows...Also the homework was not nearly as complicated as it first appears. Half of the questions had the same answer, or so I thought? At least there were only two answers..50% chance right? 



 qod - Which component velocity of is going to affect time more, vertical or horizontal? The vertical component will affect time more since the horizontal component is in uniform motion I.E. the time is equal to the distance traveled.
qod - Also the penny and ruler experiment demonstrated that the horizontal compontents are independent of vertical components because they hit at the same time.
