Apparently I made a mistake and set the deadline for the WebAssign to be 10 AM on Sunday instead of 10 PM. As a result only 5 students submitted any answers. To cover the material, I gave the students 30 min in class to work on the exercises and problems and then went over them, embellishing them.
Test tomorrow. There will be a multiple choice section, short answer including graphical addition and resolution of vectors, and problems. In the problems there will be an analytic addition of vector type problem, a rocket projectile problem, a relative velocity problem, and maybe a couple others.

Handed back Rocket 2 Labs. Forgot to go over conclusion section.
Showed ballistic cart demo. Mr. Holmes has the coolest toys.
Went over vectors on board.
Review and work day. Students worked on problem worksheet.
WebAssign Review is due Sunday at 10 pm.

Rocket Trajectory Quiz.
Went over quiz
IB Projectile Motion Rocket Quiz.
Went over quiz
Handed back CD 3.2, first rocket projectile quiz, analytic addition of vector quiz.
Showed the rest of the Hewitt video on Vectors and Projectile Motion. Explained why objects in free fall are "weightless" even though there is a force of gravity on them. Astronauts in the space shuttle appear weightless because they are falling around the Earth.
Hit the Bar write-up due Friday
Test on Projectile Motion next Tuesday.

Collected Rocket Lab 2 reports
Hit the Bar Lab
Unfortunately interrupted by yet another false fire alarm
Student who did not hit the bar all three times need to write up those portions of the lab they missed. Start with a data table with ALL the information from Competition 1 and the data from the competition(s) they missed. Show all relevant calculations in a form that is easy for me to follow. This write-up is due on Friday.

Asked if any questions on Rocket 2 Lab due tomorrow.
Projectile motion quiz with rocket (1 page). Students went over quiz on board. Showed how to sketch in vx, vtot, and vy.
Lecture on Relative Velocity
Po Boy example
Relative Velocity Equation
Examples of boat crossing stream heading straight across and then actually traveling straight across. Example of plane flying though air.
Examples:
Plane taking off (into the wind to maximize lift)
Plane landing (into the wind to minimize runway distance)
Rain streaks on car window
Handed out RA 3.1 - ran out, will hand out rest tomorrow. Due Wed
Work on problems from worksheet
Tomorrow we do the Hit the Bar Lab - prepare your calculations.
