Glad to hear you're hanging in there, and thanks for sharing our resources with your colleagues!

So great to hear from you Velociraptor! I've gotta ask -- are you enjoying school? Make it a great day!!!

Tons of physics in dancing, great application of what we're starting to learn in class to something exciting out of class!

Great news Mike -- we will do lots of analysis of the collision of football players... coming up soon!

Tons of help here:

Glad it helped. Make it a great day!

In the vertical plane, the initial velocity is 1.3 ms, and acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. Find its y-displacement and y-velocity after 2.5 seconds using your kinematic equations. In the horizontal plane, the ball's initial velocity is 0, its acceleration is 2.1 m/s2, find its x-displacement and x-velocity after 2.5 seconds using your kinematic equations. Then, find its total velocity at time t=2.5 seconds by combining the x-velocity and y-velocity vectors. Good luck!

Hi GGirl, This looks like a great problem to break into separate components of horizontal (x) and vertical (y) motion.

Looking forward to learning about physics (and lack thereof) in Doctor Who!

Nicely done!

<p>On Tuesday evening I had the opportunity to attend a professional development seminar on Skills Based Grading at SUNY Geneseo as part of the NYS Master Teacher Program. Below are some of my musings / quick notes as I participated in the seminar. I very much enjoyed hearing about how others have utilized SBG and comparing to my program.</p> <p>Goal for the session is for the presenters, George Reuter and Amy to provide a snippet of what Standards Based Grading is and how it can be implemented, coupled with a work session in which a structure is implemented with a SBG philosophy.</p> <p>Use SBG as a communication tool — highlight strengths as well as opportunities for improvement.</p> <p>SBG as a process. Learn a new skill, practice that skill, test that skill, receive feedback, practice needed skills, etc.</p> <p>Analogy — just like runners have multiple opportunities to practice and show their skill, so will students have multiple opportunities to demonstrate their learning.</p> <p>Work on progressions toward mastery — set up rubric to support your end-goal.</p> <p>Ways of determining scores — average all scores, decaying average, most recent, other? (I keep the two most recent).</p> <p>Presenter spends hours and hours grading assessments — I mentioned Remark OMR and opportunities to automate that work, specifically how I’ve significantly reduced my workload using SBG. Presenter also spent many hours in parent presentations about the grading system. I side-stepped that by creating a flipped classroom video explaining my grading system.</p> <p>After a bit more discussion, we split into various groups to talk about various ramifications, issues, concerns, and successes using SBG. Overall, a valuable evening!</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/PhysicsInFlux/~4/UCJTlxSVdyc" height="1" width="1"/> <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PhysicsInFlux/~3/UCJTlxSVdyc/" class='bbc_url' rel='nofollow external'>Source</a>

Close Amelia -- please put this in the "Blogs" section (see handout) and also include the picture. Looking forward to seeing it!

Thrilled to have you aboard, Warren!

I have just the video for you... we do exactly that in the Retarding and Drag Forces video.

If you're stuck on the lab, of course, come see me -- happy to help!

Name: How do you weigh yourself in space? Category: Space Date Added: 21 September 2014 - 08:24 AM Submitter: FizziksGuy Short Description: None Provided The International Space Station carries a body mass measurement device, similar in principle to that used on Skylab, for weighing cosmonauts. The cosmonaut places chest and abdomen on the subject support and footrests and handlebars immobilise feet and hands. A thumb-activated lever unlocks the unit to begin oscillations - the frequency of vibration measures the mass of the subject to 0.5% accuracy. View Video

Tremendous post, great physics, and better music!

Absolutely, TONS of physics in cheerleading. Of specific interest coming up soon... free fall and projectile motion!

I learned something new today -- great analysis of running, and given how much I run as part of our crossfit workouts, I'm looking forward to giving the stride variation a try!

Thanks Josh, but please post your selfie picture too!
