Class on Monday, November 30

The first thing in class that we did was take a reassesment. Then we started talking about FARMIPS and grades and how to prepare for the exam.

We then talked about whether a bowling ball dropped from a foot above your hand or a baseball dropped from the top of robinson would hurt more if dropped on your hand. We decided that the pain and how much you'd get hurt relies on speed, mass, and height (if dropped). Then, we jumped from that subject onto springs. Let's say we have a very loose spring, and a very stiff spring. We asked ourselves "How can we launch the same cart with the same speed using these two different springs?" We made this graph of the spring force vs. the displacement:

The rest we did in class i didn't catch so we'll talk about it tomorrow! The next scribe is Joe.
