Happy Holidays Everybody in my Physics Class. I typed this on my PSP :P XD

This is Late, I Know -_-;

Well, I just found out that I was scribe for Thursday..sorry I'm late. I guess I have to scribe for yesterday's class also don't I?

Okay, so on Thursday, we were given time to finish our labs from the previous day and we were also given more worksheets and I think we went over the sheets we got when we had a sub. Ms. Kozoriz also gave us one Kinder Surprise. After that, no one really did any work and just played with the toys they got and stuff.

Now for yesterday's class! We did another lab with a paper covered brick, a string, a board, a cart thing, a scale, and some other paper stuff. The purpose of the lab was to check how friction affects the brick/cart and stuff like that. Once we were finished filling in the charts on the paper for the lab, there were questions to answer on the back of it. This lab is due on the day we get back, which is the 7th. Yay >_>.

Yep, that's all! Have a merry christmas and a happy new year everyone! As for the next scribe..I choose COW MILK!

Hello! This is Mary Ann

I wasn't able to scribe for yesterday's class since I was away. Noonie will have that post up hopefully sometime tonight.

Today we did a lab on Acceleration Due to Gravity. We took a rubber door stopper and had it tied to a string. We then allowed it to swing for 20 cycles while the string was 120cm long. While doing this, we recorded the length of time it took for the door stopper to reach 20 cycles.
We noticed, through this lab, that when the string was shortened, the faster it took the stopper to reach 20 cycles.
There were also some questions that accompanied the lab.

That was basically all that we did today.

The next scribe will be KRISTINA!!!!!!!!

Hi it is me Benofchool,
Today we went over the Problem Solving Worksheet with the picture of the guy in the elevator.
Here are the answers:





If pictures do not come out clear click on the picture :)


After going over that we had a chance to complete the lab given to us on Friday and to complete a new worksheet. The lab and worksheet was to be handed in at the end of class.

That was all for today and the next scribe is going to be... Mary Ann

December 14 2007

today in class we read the booklet that mrs k. gave us. The booklet is called Grade 11 physics: gravitational Fields. We read all the way up to page 4 of the boklet.

Nexts we did a lab about page 4 of the booklet.

At the end of class she gave us two sheets of paper to read and she also gave us a sheet of problem and that was our class.

The next scribe is going to be benofschool. haha

December 12, 2007

Hello, in today's physics class we corrected a number of problems including #6 - 8 on the worksheet given to us on Monday, Newton's Laws of Motion, as well as the questions assigned yesterday from the greed book ( # 1, 5 & 7). We were also given a short review covering everything that would be on tomorrow's test. All of this has already been uploaded to the blog by Ms. K. The remainder of the class was given to us to study and review our notes. That was pretty much it.

*REMINDER: Test on "Dynamics" tomorrow, Thursday, December 13, 2007. Don't forget to study.

The next scribe is Richard (:

Today in physic's class, we corrected our questions #1-6 on the sheet we got yesterday & we got a new work sheet, corrected it in class. The answers are posted below by Ms. K. She assigned questions # 1, 5 ,7 pg 105- 106 in the green book. If you weren't here today i have posted the questions below, we will correct it tomorrow in class along with the questions 6- 10 that you are to have finished by tomorrow.

Problems # 1, 5, 7 Pg 105-106

1.) An 873-kg dragster, starting from rest, attains a speed of 26.3m/s in .59s
a.) Find the average acceleration of the dragster during this time interval.
b.) What is the size of the average force on the dragster during this time interval?
c.) Assume the driver has a mass of 68kg. What horizontal force does the seat exert on the driver?
d.) Is the driver's mass in part C an inertial mass or gravitational mass?

5.) After a day of testing race cars, you decide to take your own 1550-kg car onto the test track. While moving down the track at 10m/s, you suddenly accelerate to 30m/s in 10s. What is the average net force that you applied to a car during the 10-s interval?

7.) A force of -9000N is used to stop a 1500-kg car traveling at 20m/s. What braking distance is needed to bring the car to halt?

the blog for tomorrow is Kimberley

Monday of December, I dunno the date

Jajajaja.
Today we was like, we got them tests back for some reason, I didn't know we were supposed to hand them back for anything. And then after that, we was doing them sheets you know, with the rocks and then we have to label each of the forces that were acting upon that piece of rock. And then the teacher lady gave us like these peices of paper with writing on it, I think she wants us to read those papers, I dunno don't ask me.
After that we got another piece of paper with writing on it and I think we were supposed to do them... It was about finding the net force and stuff, and to figure it out, we have to like use stuff learned in trigonomonomonemtree or something like that and the pythagorean theory... And remember to use like NORTH of EAST instead of NORTHEAST because NORTHEAST is apparently 45 degrees and so yeah, you'll get wrong and you'll phail at physics so don't do that. And then the teacher went and did some crazy stuff on the overhead but I was busy writing this stuff so I don't know what happened. Now it's home time and I have to go now byebye ttyl.

Scribe for tomorrow is jennifer

Blog for Friday, December 7th

Today we went over the worksheet where you had to find the different forces affecting the rocks in the different questions.
Then for the rest of the class, we worked on laptops, doing just about the same thing as the worksheet we just went over except it was on a special program.

That's all for today! Next scribe will be SANGIIIIE

Newton's Second Law Lab

Hello fellow classmates,
i am SAM and i am scribing for today. First we started off by getting a hand out for a lab. The lab was based on Newton's Second Law. It's a two page handout with both the front and back. We had carts and weights and we had to observe the accelerations produced by varying forces on a given mass. The lab is to be finished by tomorrow or probably latest would be Friday. That's about all we did in physics, which was work on the lab. The next scribe will be AnhThi!
