First Mr. Burk told us that we needed to be doing our self assessment and our reassessment that he gave us last week. Then he gave us our tests back with our corrections graded. Then we continued working on the lab where we analyzed the Mythbusters' efforts to determine whether a dropped bullet and a fired bullet would hit the ground simultaneously. They did, which makes sense, because vertical force, velocity or acceleration is independent from any horizontal force, velocity or acceleration. I couldn't find a video of this on the internet. We calculated the velocity of the bullets and the time it would take for them to fall to the ground, using velocity versus time graphs and the equations , and . Our homework is to do 4G and make sure that it is right, because Mr. Burk will grade for correctness. The next scribe is Paxton
