PHYSICS: Terrific job on the King of the Hill competition!!! I’m really proud of the work that all of you did on your cars.
It was a fierce, head to head battle with cars flying all over the track, but at last the strongest car emerged victorious! Congratulations, Brendan, on being King of the Hill! Also, congrats to Milie and Ethan for winning the speed and distance races!
This week in Physics, I would rate myself a 3 out of 5. I easily grasped the concept of horizontal circular motion, but I’m having a harder time understanding the problems that involve vertical circular motion. The lab on Wednesday was a great way to explore horizontal circular motion, and the demonstration with clowny helped me to see the difference between vertical and horizontal circular motion. I’m slowly getting better at the problems, but I’m going to need more practice before the test!
