10/13 Schwab

Today in 3rd period physics we turned in our graph packet and our test review packet. Probably about half the class was still turning stuff in a minute or so after the bell and Coats-Haan had to tell us to huring up cause we were wasting our test taking time. Then we took our Linear motion test. Tomorrow our lab report is due for the acceleration due to gravity lab.
qod- If you fire a rifle from an elevation of 1 m and drop a bullet at the same time from the same elevation, which bullet will hit the ground first, neglecting air resistance? I'm not quite sure how to answer this. If the rifle was fired down then that bullet would hit first because it would have a initial velocity much higher than 0, and so its acceleration would be high. Or if you mean shoot the bullet straight forward while dropping the other i would need to know the initial velocity, then we could use our equations to find the time.
