Week 18

This week was filled with lots of understanding. We learned what centripetal forces are and how it acts in the motion of a circular flow. We learned what and how to measure the motion of a car traveling around a pole and a string spinning calculated motion both rotation. We came to the conclusion that a revolution is the period (time in seconds) in one complete circle. The car for example is trying to continue straight each time it turns but is FORCED to spin by a string pulling in the car. The string length is called the radius and we can get the Circumference with the 2(pie=3.14)radius=Circumference. This week we did mostly labs so we it came down to the assessment I didn't feel as prepared but I believe it was too hard hopefully I did okay on it. Everyone were involved this week in conversations and the lesson. I also enjoyed the motivation YouTube video Friday.
