Steel Ball Mystery Project

When the first marble hits the other marbles going at a slow rate the rest of the marbles go at a fast rate, because oppostie magnets do not stick together so when the the first marble hits the other three marbles lined up they arn't made to go together so they push off of each with a great force pushinjg the other marbles and ultimately causing a chain reaction to happen causing the rest of the marbles to go faster than the first marble that we pushed.

Phaulty Physics In Philm Project

We chose a clip from the movie The Matrix where Neo dodges the bullets being shot at him. That is impossible, because bullets approximatley travel 700-1200 mph. It would be impossible for any human being to dodge something especially when i's moving that fast. If someone were able to do it would take superhuman speed to dodge bullets like superman. Our brain reaction time is slower than the speed of a bullet so it would be impossible to execute anything close to that.

Inertia Demo @ Home

I put out a tablecloth and put dishes on top of it. I then grabbed the tablecoth and pulled it down and off the table. This left the dishes in place on the table. the dishes have a lot of mass so they stay in place, which is inertia.

MY FAMILY MEMBER'S EXPLANATION:

When Adam placed plates on a thin table cloth and pulled quickly, the plates stayed in place and did not move. The table cloth moved because it was in motion. The plates stayed at rest because they started in a rest state.

MY CRITIQUE:

It was pretty good about describing inertia and what it did in terms of the tablecoth and plates.

Projectile Motion Photo

This picture is of a swimming backstroke start. It represents projectile motion because of the parabola shape. In this case the parabola is opening down. For a backstroke start the arched back with the feet following up on the whole body's motion creates the parabola. Right at the beginning the first push the velocity 9.8m/s and continues until the peak of the start where the velocity it Om/s because she is not going up or down. Then eventually starts going down with the velocity again at 9.8m/s.

Projectile Motion Phot Projcet

This tiger leaping is just one example of a projectile's motion. A projectile's motion first goes up and then eventually comes down, because everything has a velocity of 9.8m/s. The tiger's initial velocity is 0 m/s, because he was at rest before he leaped into the air. Once he's in the air his velocity changes every second by 9.8 m/s. Then when the tiger reaches it's peak it has a velocity of 0 m/s for that one second becasue he is neither falling or going up. Then the tiger's velocity changes by 9.8 m/s again until it lands on the ground.

Phaulty Physics in Philm: Family Guy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-gxzn-bCYk

In this clip of Family Guy, Peter rides a dragon. Then, due to Peter's weight, the dragon goes down as a free-falling object. The dragon is flying at the height of the mountains in the background. These mountains are aprroximately at the height of the clouds. Clouds above ground level are from 3000-8000 meters above sea level. Lets say the dragon is approximately at 4000 meters high. It would take him approximately 28.57 seconds to fall. (I figured this out using the solving for time formula.) In the video, he falls for only 2-3 seconds. The cartoonist was about 25 seconds off. which means he had a error yield of approximately 88%. This goes to show that Family Guy was way off with the laws of Physics on this one.

This clip defies the laws of physics because an objecet fallings is suppose to have a velocity of 9.8m/s and the baby keeps walking on air without falling. You can see the wooden board being pulled from under the baby while hes crawiling on it and yet when there's no board left he is still in the air. If any other object where to be on top of a board and that board where to be pulled out an object should usually fall at a 9.8m/s velocity but in this case the baby is still suspended in the air. We chose this video because is shows the "phaulty physcics" of how a baby is still crawling in the air with no support with out falling.

Becoming a Member of the Blog

Your first task as a member of the blog (and the class) is to accept the invitation to be an author. Mr. Rylander, another Physics Studies teacher, has put together a wonderful video that steps students through the task of accepting the invitation and logging in for the first time. The video is shown below.

Once you have completed this first task, you will be ready to create your first blog post.

Creating a New Post

Once you have logged in for the first time and accepted your invitation to be a contributing member (i.e., author) of this blog, your next task is to create your first blog post. For any extension project that involves posting a video, photo, or reflection to the blog, you will need to create and publish a "post." A post is simply a short article that appears on our class blog.

Once more, Mr. Rylander (a Physics Studies teacher) has put together a very useful instructional video on how to create your first post. The video is shown below.

Once you have created and published your post, it should be visible on the blog.
