Today we wrapped up our unit on mechanics with a lab practicum. The students used all their new and fun formulas to analyze the game Angry Birds. They figured out the momentum, mass, force, impulse, acceleration, velocity and more of various aspects of the game. If you would like to get into this in even more depth a fellow by the name of Rhett Allain has done many many calculations on various parts of the game. Here is a link to a forum with bunches of articles by him.
Homework for this week is to:
Read Chapter 11 pgs. 150 - 164
Do the ODD Review Questions on page 165 #'s 1-19
Do Plug and Chug Questions #'s 1 and 2
10 points of extra credit if you do the first activity on page 166.
