Scribe Post

This is Lindsay, the scribe person for today.

In class, we watched a video that showed us examples of circular motion.

One example would be the Merry-go-Round. It has a fictitious Coriolis force. I think that's what the video told us, I'm not quite sure, sorry.

Another example was the roller coaster. The liquid in the container (the accelerometer)changed levels when it went around the loop.

The last example we saw was the carnival rotor ride. There was an outward inertial force. The people in the ride were in a state of equilibrium because of the artificial gravity. They were being pushed against the wall, away from the centre.

After the video we corrected the questions 13-17 on pages 152 and 153.

Ms. K showed us a free body diagram on the smartboard. The coin was traveling in a circular path and it experienced a gravitational force, normal force, and force of friction.

We're done with circular motion! (well not until the test...but you know what I mean)

Lastly, we received handouts about Work and Energy!

Do your homework and I hope you guys handed in your labs.

I choose you, bale-0ut! for the next scribe.
