MS. TODD'S NOTES ARE IN CAPITALS...

Teacher: Please try to spell correctly! No IM speak. Ask questions of yourselves and to me. I will get us started. Teacher: How did velocity affect the distance of the projectile (everything else constant)? Adrienne: the higher it goes the farther it goes. Richard: The more the velocity means farther distance Alex: The higher the velocity the farther it goes Eric: Increase Velocity and it goes farther Nicole: The higher the velocity, the farther an object goes. Eric: Velocity affected the distance by going higher. Sydney: The higher the velocity the further it goes and the lower the velocity it doesn't go as far Connor: If you add more velocity, it will go a further distance Cannon: The more velocity, the further it goes. Teacher: Why do you think this is so? Marion: The lower the velocity the shorter it goes Caroline: The higher the velocity the farther the object will go David: The higher the velocity the farther the balloon goes Sarah: When the velocity was lower, the balloon went less far Nikki: The higher the velocity, the farther something goes. Connor: because you are adding more strength to the throw (GREATER VELOCITY IN THE HORIZONTAL POSITION, REMEMBER, PARABOLIC MOTION IS RESULTANT OF BOTH A VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL COMPONENT) Richard: Because velocity is the acceleration rate (NOT EXACTLY) Sydney: because you are throwing it harder Alex: because you are throwing the balloon harder David: This is so because the more force you put on the balloon the farther it will go Aaron: because if you throw it softly it wont go far Eric: Because it you would throw it harder Eric: because you are thowing the object higher Teacher: What affect does angle have on the balloon? Nicole: I think the velocity does make things go farther because you are putting more force on the object as you increase the velocity. (GREAT) Joshua: the velocity is how fast the balloon starts out. When the balloon was thrown, more velocity in the throw would propel the balloon further Connor: the more the angle the less the distance (WE WILL FIGURE THIS OUT IN OUR EXPERIMENT, MOST OF WHAT IS WRITTEN BELOW DOES NOT TELL THE WHOLE STORY) Adrienne: because you are putting more force into it. Alex: the lower the angle the farther it goes David: the higher the angle the lower amount of distance Richard: The angle affects height, which then affects distance Marion: The angle decides how far it goes Cannon: The more the angle the less distance Sarah: The higher the angle was, the more the balloon would go up and not out Connor: lower the angle, it will go striaghter and further Adrienne: the lower the angle the farther it goes Eric: The angle that you though determains how far it goes. Eric: The angle changes the distence Nikki: Increasing the angle decreases the farther it goes Teacher: What do you think about gravity? How did this affect it? (THE GREATER THE GRAVITY, THE GREATER THE WEIGHT OF THE OBJECT SO FOR ANY GIVEN SET OF CONDITIONS (SAME FORCE OF THROW INTO THE AIR), THE OBJECT WILL NOT GO AS FAR. Adrienne: the larger the angle the shorter it goes Nicole: As you increase the angle, the object falls shorter because angle is how far out and over the object goes. Connor: the more gravity the more it pulls down and goes less distance Connor: less gravity will make it go further because of less pull Eric: the more gravity the more it pulls down David: Gravity is pulling on the balloon and the higher the gravity the less distance it will travel Aaron: if its 10 pounds it wont go as far as a 2 pound balloon Eric: The less gravity the farther it goes!! Caroline: gravity is the attraction 2 objects have, the more gravity the less the balloon will travel Alex: the definition of gravity is the attration between to objects Sarah: The less gravity, the farther balloon goes because it has more time in the air
