Physics Olympics Today is thursday the 12th a very sunny day. We are going to finish up our labs and hand in the graphs that were printed. Mr Manning starf\ted class today with an overview of the physics olympics. It is at solanco and is a competition containing various aspects of physics. Various schools from around the area compete with other classmates to form different teams. The most efficient team will win the 1st prize. Free food is included which is sweeeeeeeet. After that he pulled up the straightline graph from our labs to show us what it should look like. The squared graphs are called quadratic gaphs. The squared graphs will not come out perfectly straight due to mutiple errors. We then created a new equation for force. It combines many proportions to make F=m*v^2/r. This is for centripital force. Mr. Manning then gave us 15 min. to go over page 8 and compute the answers after knowing this new equation. We then turn in one packet and the 5 graphs that were printed yesterday. Some of the problems on page 8 were wrong due to the fact that we did not have this new force equation. Thats all we did today as far as work. Pretty much just finished our labs and completed page 8. Study guides and test are next week and some people still owe manning t-shirt money.
