Today in class Mr. Manning started by handing back a lot of papers. He then told us that he will do a notebook check on monday so we need to make sure we have all of our papers in order. We then discussed the Acceleration Experiences( Problem Solving) packet. We were told to make a correction on Kinematic equation number 2. We had to change both x's in number 2 to v's. He used a glass jar full of water to demonstrate how if the velocity and acceleration go in the same direction the jar would pick up speed and when the velocity and acceleration move in opposite directions the object slows down. We then worked on problem #1 of the packet as a class. We first labeled all of the numbers in the problem as either an acceleration, an initial or final velocity, a total velocity, a time or the displacement.
