November 9th-13th


Monday- Now that you've had some practice at drawing velocity vectors and force vectors, now it's your turn to explain what happens to a real rocket at launch. View the videos in the Teacher folder and take note of the velocity of the rocket as it launches, as well as the forces involved with the launch. Take 3 screenshots (command+shift+4) of the video at different times; before launch, right as it begins to take off, as it is higher in the air, and place the pictures into any computer program you prefer. Draw and label the force vectors exerted on or by the rocket in all three pictures. Last, make sure to write out a brief explanation of the forces in each of the pictures. Don't forget what we discussed in class about forces and Newton's law.

Tuesday- Now that you've finished drawing the force arrows, take a look at this link- []

Write a definition in your own words, for the four forces mentioned on the webpage above. You can add this to your paper, as well as a small written part that explains how the water bottle rocket is similar and different from a full size NASA rocket.

Wednesday- We will be working on finishing your Great Traveling Tennis Ball video and explanation. The directions for what you will need to turn in are listed here ---> When you are ready to analyze your video, open the program Logger Pro on your computer. You will need to import the video, and then find the velocity of the moving tennis ball. You may want to use this excel file to help you find your velocity-

QUIZ DAY THURSDAY- **[|**http://www.quia.com/quiz/2032464.html**]**
