Week 6 (remake)

This week we did multiple tests about velocity and forces. In the beginning of the week, we did the "T Bone Challenge" where we had to release both buggies at the right time in order to have them in hit in the middle. This experiment helped learn how if a certain objects are a cerain distance away and are let go at certain times, they can create a T-Bone. Later this week, we bagan to learn about forces. We learned that what some one weights isnt the content on their body, but the force the earth is exsserting on their mass. An objects mass is what an object is made of. The weight of an object is the force pulling it down, so no matter what your mass is, you will always be a certain weight. At the end of the week we began useing "forceometers." They measure the amount of force an objects exherting onto another object. The tools use Newtons, a measurement of force. For ever 100 grams,it is 1 newton. For being a shortened week, it was still pretty productive. A fellow student reminded me of what we did this week and i still have pretty good memory of it, which means i learned something interesting. We did some graphs (yuck) but it helped in understanding how forces acted on one another, and how to properly measure force. Theres always the dirty unfun work needed to obtain the knowledge to do the fun exciting stuff.
