Everything before global warming

M 28 August 2017 (UTC) Showed card game. Introduced Studyguide. Did first quiz on motion. Don't sweat these calculations if you can't do them. You have other ways to succeed in this class. T 29 August 2017 (UTC) Attendance policy: Allowed to miss 15 days without penalty. Nominally, you must attend 60 days to get 100%. $G={\frac {D}{55}}\times 100\%$ and D is the days that you attend, OR 55 if you attend more than 55 days. Polarizing filters. Maybe do another wikiquiz. T 5 September 2017 Syllabus Test prep: Questions 1-14 of second quiz Special:Permalink/1415990 has been discussed.

Much of of his personal writings were never really understood as late as 1937. 2 3 4 5 An apple speeds up as it falls. At every instant in time it seems to have a certain speed. How do you mathematically describe this "instantaneous" velocity? $v_{instant}={\frac {x_{2}-x_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}}$ when the two times are nearly the same.

Predict distance for v=2000. Make a sketch showing how a graph and similar triangles would permit you to find a formula. You can also get the formula by something called Regression_analysis Measure and calculate Big/Small and also percent error. The latter is (Measured−True)/True. You can report Big/Small as off by a factor of .... For small errors (less than about 10% or so, they essentially give the same information). Fit your three points to a parabola. It's best not to use Excel curve fit. There is an Excel extension, but it is more convenient to search the internet for "regression" fitting. Now use your parabola to predict the distance for v=3000. Measure and compare as before.
