Monday PS Yellow Book Lab
2
Tests Some are graded, not all Hand back Wednesday-ish
3
Essential Question How do we describe what happens in a collision in terms of Newton’s Laws of Motion
4
P14 in yellow book Describe the forces pushing/pulling on Jaime’s during collision. Draw a free-body diagram
5
Free Body Diagram of Jaime Upward force of seat Weight Friction and seat belt Forward force of seat
6
P14 Why is she having x-rays and an EKG What is the use of an X-ray? What is the use of an EKG?
7
Use of X-rays
8
Use of EKG Echocardiograms
9
MRI Magnetic Resonance Imagery
10
The rest of the class Will be spent in groups creating clay crash dummies to be used for observation Goals: To connect the laws of motion to auto accidents To understand the result of using different types of seat-belts in crashes
11
Car Crash Lab Each person is responsible for completion of pages 15-22 Write the predictions BEFORE Do and record the observations Then Answer any questions in book
12
Task #1 Create and record motion of body/head on car
13
Task #2 Create, record motion of the heads on bus
14
Warning Any horseplay or making of inappropriate anatomical parts for the clay figures will result in you spending the rest of the time in room 240 today and a zero for the missing pages of work
15
Group Selection 3-5 people per group My choice
16
Materials that need to be acquired by each group Ramp Wooden Car Clay Scissors 3-4 straws 4-6 world history textbooks (by back window) Ribbon (pick up from teacher when needed Same on the floor for ramp, start ramp from a seat
17
Crash Simulation II Jamie goes hurtling down the ramp into a book barrier Barrier = 4-6 books 1-2 feet away from bottom of ramp. No seat belt
18
Crash Simulation #3 Jamie goes hurtling down the ramp into a book barricade with different kinds of seat-belts Only 2 width’s of seat-belts available: –Wire –Ribbon Do first part with shoulder harness Do the second part without shoulder harness
19
Last page (22) 3 simulations –Try simulation 1 between 2 people in group –Discuss and answer other 2 simulations
20
Discussions of results Going over answers to the questions
21
Comparing forces in contact Two people leaning against each other Neither is moving How do the forces each exerts on the other compare?
22
Sit #2 Fast moving object crashing into stationary object What are the action and reaction forces? How do they compare?
23
Objects in motion What are the action and reaction forces? How do they compare?
24
Comparison of action-reaction forces in different situations Make predictions for each situations on page 23-25
25
P27 Write the third law in the scroll Answer the question below the scroll
26
P29 On the moon, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.7m/s 2 Complete part 1 and part 2 Inertia is measured by mass
27
P30 Finding the weight of an object Weight = ___________ x ___________
28
Weight = mass X acceleration due to gravity Complete part IV on page 30
29
Homework in Yellow Book Page 35-37 problems 3-8
30
Thursday Go over 29, 30, 35-37 Finish the yellow book Seat-belts debate Seat-belt assignment Grades and hand-back tests ?
31
Sum up How do the forces exerted on the car and bus from the collision compare? How does the mass of the car compare to the mass of the bus? Which object (Bus, Car) will accelerate more because of the applied force from the accident? How can the motion of the students on the bus be related to the 1 st and 3 rd law? Knowing about action-reaction forces, why was there more damage done to the car?
32
P45 Write all three laws of Newton
33
Seat Belts Did Jaime’s seatbelt help or harm her? Would seatbelts have helped or harmed the students on the bus for this accident? Are there other types of accidents with school buses that would have changed your answer in the above question?
34
The Seatbelt issue Read pg 46-51 (includes some articles on the issue of seat-belts on buses Answer the first 3 questions on page 46 Use the internet to see if any district or states requires school buses to have seatbelts– get specifics Determine if other buses are required to have seatbelts (greyhound…)
35
Seatbelt Position Paper Decide for yourself whether there should be a law that mandates that all school buses have seatbelts for each student. One-two pages Typewritten, (handwritten will lose points) Provide some evidence for both sides of the argument. Indicate the source of the evidence in the paper Use the laws of Newton correctly to back up evidence Bring up other issues (Security, cost…) in addition to help argue your position Grammar, Paragraph structure will count as well as strength of argument, evidence
36
Paper, Yellow Booklet Due Next Thursday October 19
37
Tests For most classes, the tests are graded Those few individuals that have not taken the test will do a different version on Monday
