This is a picture of me at air riflery. We shoot pellets which is kind of like a bullet. After it's fired form the gun the pellet becomes a projectile because it's only under the influence of gravity as it travels through the air.

Unit 4 Projectile Motion
Today we were introduced to projectile motion. A projectile is any object that is only under the influence of gravity. An example is a bullet after it's been fired from a gun. We also learned about 2 dimensional kinematics. The most important concept was the Vegas Rule which states that "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas". Or in Physics terms "What happens on the (x or y axes) stays on the (x or y axes)". This is because the axes are independent, meaning objects can be moving horizontally and vertically at the same time. An example is when you throw a ball to someone else, the ball is moving both up then down and forwards at the same time.

Good post! I like how you summarized the unit very well. Also i thought it was cool how your picture shows how you related what we learned to air riflery!
ReplyDeleteI really like the way you summarized it for me, it helped it make more sense! I also thought it was cool that you didn't just take a picture off the internet but used one of yourself. I also didn't know you did air riflery, cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom! I'm glad i helped you understand the lesson better and yah the bullet example just made me think of air rifelry haha
