__Daily Plans__ Pass Back Papers Superposition Principle Time to Work on Calculations

We started the day by receiving and papers that Mr. Manning had to give back. There were not many, mostly just a few for people thatwere absent. This sheet is what we continued to work on throughout the class period until we finished it. After completing this paper we are then supposed to continue to work on our roller coaster projects. Our calculations and every else for the week 2 roller coaster is all due tomorrow. There is not much time left for us to work on our project in class. We are also supposed to make corrections to any mistake that we made on our rough draft of our roller coaster. On our roller coaster we did not give 2 points of circular motion. We needed to add another loop or some kind of circular object into our coaster. A name and a theme for your roller coaster is also required. A possible theme we thought of was a city or skyscraper theme. The coaster would be called something like "The Skyscraper" and we would make the carts look like taxis or buses. Taylor also threw in the idea of calling it "The Empire State Building" and act like people climb up the sides. Which she said people do when they go visit the Empire State Building???? She then got confused and just went back to work. We then continued to wok on our project. We actually made a crucial change in our design and added a corkscrew effect instead of a loop effect. We thought that our guests would enjoy this more, and that it was easier to calculate the information. Word Count: 259
