PICS FROM LAST WEEK:
-
- Mr. Pentacost doing the rope course.
-
- Chelsea and I share a birthday on April 25th. She made cupcakes!
-
- Brandon gives me a birthday present
-
- It’s an ancient clock made in Korea? China? Pretty awesome!
-
- Science teachers in the Aquaponics area.
-
- Cameron’s view of some European city.
-
- Rocketry students spray paint their rockets
-
- . . .
-
- . . .
-
- . . .
-
- . . .
-
- . . .
-
- Rockets dry off in the fume hood.
-
- Maggie paints Einstein on a ceiling tile.
-
- 2nd hour after the horsepower run.
-
- 2nd hour students who were 0.9horse power or greater. Chris was at 1.3 hp.
-
- 3rd hour hp players
-
- 3rd hour with greater than .9hp or greater.
-
- 6th hour hp players
-
- 6th hour . . . those above 0.9 hp
-
- Dami was hp man for this year at 1.7hp
-
- Tara shows us her musical instrument.
-
- Joe Davis ladies and gentlemen.
-
- 7th hour hp players
-
- those in 7th hour who scored above 0.9 hp.
-
- Wade is checking out the venier equipment.
-
- Physics of swimming
-
- Buoyant force comes from the center of volume. Center of mass is where gravity acts.
-
- comparing the arm of a swimmer to an airfoil at different angles.
-
- where is this?
-
- Pixilated cat
-
- the size the earth would have to be squeezed down to form a black hole.
-
- American Infrastructure
-
- spider bro saving us from Zika Virus.
-
- pretty smart in my opinion.
-
- Mr. Pentacost made some high IMA pulley systems.
-
- . . .
-
- . . .
-
- The crane to the right has an IMA of around 60. 12 on the back and 5 up front. When combining systems, you multiply IMAs.
-
- The Lunar Sooners came to present about Gravity Waves.
-
- The inclined plane as a machine.
-
- . . .
-
- Some of the basic pulley’s you need to know.
-
- Like a prob on the upcoming test. you have to draw the rope to get an IMA of 7 or an IMA of 6 with a direction advantage.
-
- We discussed spaghettification.
-
- Conservative forces (like gravity) do no work through a closed path.
-
- Pac Man (friction or drag) is a non conservative force meaning that it always does work whether a closed path or not. Pacman always eats and increases the chaos.
-
- We went to the stadium to run steps to see who was stronger than a horse.
-
- We’ll talk integrals Monday
-
- From Dr. Thurston’s notes.
-
- One of the top 5 equations in Physics. Used to convert from frequency in Hertz of photons (like gamma rays) to Energy in Joules
-
- Neutrino detector filled with bleach.
-
- Your thumb has about a billion neutrinos passing through it right now.
-
- A neutrino detector.
-
- Neutrino detector
-
- neutrino detector
-
- When you take the dot product of force and displacement you get the work done by the force. When you take the cross product of force and radius, you get the torque which causes rotation.
