Blogging in Physical Science

Our blog can be used for a variety of purposes.  All physical science students can post extension work, reflections from our classwork, relevant website links, relevant videos, or any other content worth sharing to peers.  We encourage you to comment on other students work and engage in learning in a way that is meaningful to you.  The only rule of the blog is to be respectful and appropriate!

Force 5.1

10-14,10-15

This concept states that the stronger the field the greater the force placed on the objects in the field.

Class Activities.

In class we did the stations on forces at a distance. These demonstrate the objective because they demonstrate that the stonger the field the greater the forces exerted on the objects in the field. For example when the larger magnet was being moved closer to the small magnet it attracted the small magnet from the farthest distance this is because the largest magnet had the strongest field. Another example was the balloon. The more you rubbed the balloon on your hair the more electricity it would generate. This caused it to pick up more pieces of paper.

Motion 3.1 Velocity vs. Time graphs

General shape of graph: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/1DKin/U1L4a.cfm

Motion comparison: http://tube.geogebra.org/student/m1392369

Velocity vs. Time graphs represent an object's velocity, which contains both magnitude and direction because it is a vector quantity. Velocity can be represented by both positive and negative direction on a velocity time graph, where when the line is in the positive, the object is traveling away from the origin and if the line is negative, it is traveling toward the origin.

You can tell if an object is moving at a constant velocity or if it is accelerating based on the object's slope. If the line is horizontal or has a slope of zero, it is moving at a constant velocity. If the line has a slope, then it is accelerating.

Positive Velocity Zero Acceleration	Positive Velocity Positive Acceleration

Class Summary:

We first started exploring this with a Pear Deck for Mr. Little to see the current understanding of motion diagrams, we learned that the longer the arrow, the faster youŕe going and every dot represents one unit of time. From there on we used motion diagrams to help represent motion of an object and converting other forms of showing motion to motion diagrams. We also used many labs to help show the motion of objects in the lab.

Displacement is basically your beginning point minus your ending point, which finds how far away you are from where you began.
