Shoot your grade corrections

So last Friday our class of 22 had the pleasure of taking part in a Projectile Lab in which we would shoot our grade. In this lab we would be trying to hit a textbook after making various calculations. Another important aspect of this lab was the fact that if we hit this book the whole class would pass and if we missed the whole class would fail. As many of you know this lab didn't go so hot, crunched for time and lack of communication lead to a complete miss. Mr. Fullerton, being the wonderful man that he is, allowed us to re-due the calculation and write about it in the blog I'm currently writing to receive full credit after that humiliating miss. After doing the calculation again, I came to the conclusion that the book should have been placed at the center of about 2 meters. The thing that messed the class up the most was the fact that there was a lack of time and the push at the end caused for a mix up with numbers due to not being able to think clearly stressed about the time.

After doing this lab and looking back on it, with some more communication it would have helped to make the lab go quicker so we aren't crunched for time also another idea would be to split into into small groups to get an answer which to then compare later instead of trying to work on it as a bigger group. I think that these things are key to this lab to allow for success. 

Bellow are my calculations for the value in which the location of the book should have been placed.
