Mark update

Happy New Year! Marks have been updated to include the dog house and the Design and Measure test (part I). Several people have not handed these in. Please check to see if you have a mark.

Reminder that there are 2 weeks of classes left before the Provincial Exam. (Jan 18 and 19th, 2010). Please start studying for this exam.

caffeine project

The nicotine portion of the project needs a re-do for everyone that handed it in. I have clarified the questions and willl be posting those soon. If you have an INC for this project, you have handed it in, but it needs work.

special Christmas News

I have marked the vector test and posted marks to EDLINE. As a special Christmas present, I am allowing a rewrite of this test. To qualify , students must achieve 100% on the quiz that I have created on EDLINE. It will appear on the calendar every day until Jan 4th and on the right under CONTENTS. You may take the quiz as many times as you want but you must get 100% before Jan 4th. You must also attend a lunch session to correct your test on Jan. 4th at 12:05. The rewrite will happen on Wednesday Jan 6th at 12:05. You MUST write it at that time. Some people have not opted for email messages so spread the word. Try to talk to at least 1 other person in the class.

Adding Vectors

Today is December 10, 2009. It is a chilly -22 Celsius tonight in Dauphin Manitoba. Earlier in the day we learnt how to add vectors, quite simply an easy task to accomplish. We learnt the "tip-to-tail" method and we had a brief discussion about parrelogram vectors. Attached is basically what happened in the class:

I cant copy an example of what we did on to here because it's not working for me, it is straight ridiculous. This is extremely rattling because i cant even add a picture either now. So im giving up on this blog and going to watch letterman. Do numbers 1-4 on page 318 for practice and Tommorow we learn Equilibrant vectors.

DEC 7 tut 7-1 vectors

yay the maths version of physics, fun class. anyways basic from what i remember from my time in physics is there is two kinds of vectors:

vector: has direction
scalar:has no direction

basically ; if the qestion says u are going 130km/h and does say anything about goes east west etc the it is a scalar
if the qestion say u are going 130 km/h at a direction heading west then it is a vector

so the line is the magnitude or the total distance, what ever the question is asking. the line must have an arrow head put on it or you will lose marks
NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST, north always is on the top unless told other wise.
there is also another meathod finding direction called bearing and north is 0, east is 090 south is 180, and west is 270. bearing is like a compass but it uses numbers instead of using names.

yay more physis terms
Displacement: how far in what direction; km miles etc
Velocity:how fast in what direction; km/h miles/h
force;how much force in what direction; N or called newtons

scale must a very important thing, should always always be cm = whatever it is
