- In the lab yesterday, every group got an actual speed that was less than their predicted speed. Does this make sense from a work/energy standpoint? Explain your answer.
- Almost every group had some error between the predicted and actual values. Brainstorm some ways you could improve this, and why.
Learning Goal: I can use concepts of work and energy to predict the motion of objects.
Today:
On a white board, work with your group to show
- sketch the setup with measurements.
- show your GUESSework to predict the speed of the ball bearing at the bottom of the ramp.
- how you will measure the actual speed of the ball bearing at the bottom of the ramp.
Rubric:
- A = your group was able to complete the lab completely independently, without help.
- B = your group was able to complete the lab with little help from Mr. Mason.
- C = your group was able to complete the lab with considerable help from Mr. Mason
- D = your group was able to complete the lab, but only with Mr. Mason telling you exactly what to do.
- NHI = did not complete the lab
