Ladies and Gentlemen, today is Tuesday, November 13th, one of the most special days, not because today we are having our early dismissal, or there will be no school on Friday, because today in Mr. Manning’s class, we will be working on Newton’s Second Law of Motion, but first off the daily question and the homework are in the way, so let gets it out off our way. So today’s daily question is “Sally Swimmer dives off of a diving board. Draw a FBD of sally as she is launched upwards.” So here is the diagram for the question. Next thing on the agenda is the homework. We are handing in number 1 and 5 on the “Drawing Free Body Diagram” worksheet. The answer to number 1 is Fg with the arrow pointing down. For number five, we have the Fg with the arrow pointing down, and another arrow pointing up with Fn motion. One question came up during class. “So does every diagram got to have the Fg force?” “Yes because every object is being pulled down by the gravitational force” Mr. Manning explained. So we get those two things out of our way, now we could start working on the “Newton’s Second Law of Motion” worksheet, page 22, that Mr. manning handed out. Students are working very hard to finish up the worksheet so then they don’t have to do it over the break, and as the bell ring, students are heading out of the door, and move on to ther next class.
