Word Problems in 2 Dimensions

Today we worked through a classic 2 dimensional kinematics word problem:

Your homework is Kinematics II. The front is here and a picture of the back is below.

Vectors

Today we talked about vectors and how to add them.

We also learned about vector components.

The front of the homework is the same for everyone:

But the back is different for Conceptual and Honors.

Work Day

I'm sick, but can't take a day off before a scheduled holiday, so today we're having a work day. Please do the following:

1. Complete and turn in Kinematics Word Problems - I didn't get many of these on time!
2. Get your graded work out of the cubbies
3. Turn in anything that's missing (I'll hand out missing assignment reports)
4. Correct papers and highlight your new answers!

Independence of x and y

Don't believe me? Watch this clip of MythBusters.  Then check out these short notes:
 
And look!  If you want to shoot a monkey that will drop from rest when the gun goes off, you need to aim AT the monkey.  The bullet will fall too!

Kinematics Story Problems Practice

First I ranted about my supplies being missing. Then we did this bellwork:

The rest of the period was work time for Kinematics Word Problems (Conceptual, Honors).

Solving Kinematics Story Problems

Kinematic Equations Continued

First we did a bellwork that mimics the back of last night's homework:

The rest of the period was work time to finish Concept-Development 2-1 (due today) and start Concept-Development 2-2 (Due Monday).
