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!

Hello,
i am Sam, i am the scribe for today. We went over the answers for exercise 2 on our hand outs. the answers are,

a) it's a scientific law because it's a general equation about how the nature of it behaves.
b) scientific laws differ from political laws because scientific laws are descriptive; they don't say how nature MUST behave but rather DESCRIBES how nature does behave.
c)quantitative, because it's an observation that's concerned with how much there is or how much is present and it actually has values because he created an equation to generalize it.
d) it would be a theory (model) because spheres explain effect of a change in volume at different temperatures.
e) more experiments should be done and tested to see if his theory is accurate and precise to the predictions. It must be consistent as well. It mus be able to explain a wide range of phenomena.

Ms. K handed back our tests today and we went over them. to see the answers it's already posted up. we also had to do a lab. what we had to do was measure the circumference and diameter of about 5-8 different sized circular lids. We had to see what the relationship was between the circumference and diameter. And that was the class. Our next scribe will be

FISRT SCRIBE, "WAVES"

Hello fellow physics classmates,
I am Sam and I will be scribing for Fridays class. We started off by looking at how waves are made and key terms. We were given booklets out that had key terms and some formulas. We learned that a continuous or periodic wave is produced by a disturbance that is moving back and fourth continuously, that is the source is oscillating or vibrating.
click HERE to see the key terms of a wave.

To find the frequency of a wave its,
frequency = oscillations/ time
The period is the inverse of the frequency,
Time = 1/frequency.

We also had a handout to do, which we already corrected in class. We were also given another handout, I guess it was for homework because we didn't really have time to do it in class. The second sheet is CHARACTERISTICS OF WAVES. make sure you finish it for class :)
and there you have it, Fridays class. The next scribe will be
