On Friday, students wrote the vectors test. Absent students will write this test on Monday. They then copied a note about acceleration. We will do a few acceleration problems on Monday. This topic will appear on Thursday's final exam. We will be reviewing Monday-Wednesday. An extensive review is available here on the blog. Please print it this weekend and bring it to class on Monday. Students unprepared for these review classes will not benefit fully from this review opportunity, and final exam marks may be affected as a result. Be smart!

Today we finished the note on position-time graphs. Students then worked on the homework problems. This topic will be on Friday's quiz on vector quantities.

On Wednesday we took up the four velocity questions that were homework. We then began a note on position-time graphs. This was continued on Thursday.

Some velocity problems to get you ready for Friday's quiz....

1) A single-engine plane leaves an airport and flies to another airport 850 km north. It takes 4.0 h to complete the flight. What is the average velocity of the airplane?

2) A truck travels from Toronto due west to London, a distance of 210 km. The total time for the trip is two hours and fifteen minutes. What is the average velocity of the truck?

3) A car travels from Winnipeg east toward Thunder Bay. If the car travels at an average velocity of 90 km/h[E], what will be the displacement of the car 4.5 h later?

4) How many seconds will it take a speedboat travelling at 70.0 km/h[S] to cover a distance of 5.0 km.

Here is some info on your final exam.
Exam Notes
Here is an exam review.

Today, students examined the sample velocity problems on page 170 and then answered #2-5 on page 171. These are to be completed for homework if not done.

Today students were quized by trying an adding vectors question. It's clear that some still need to practice this type of question (practice drawing vector diagrams and using the math method to find resultant deplacement). We then finished the velocity note and did two practice problems. These velocity questions will be continued tomorrow.
