Physics

1. Explain the activity: We went outside and recorded how long the object was in the air from throwing it.

2. Write the general equation for a projectile that is given above: h=-16t^2 + v0t + h0

3. Find the initial velocity for YOUR two throws: 1st23.55fps 2nd37.16fps


4. Write the general quadratic equation filling in the initial velocity and height. You should have two: 0=-16t^2 + 23.55t + 3... 0=-16t^2 + 37.16t + 3

5. Find the time at which the item reached its highest point for each equation. EXPLAIN HOW YOU FOUND IT. Round to the nearest tenth: 1st .74s 2nd 1.16s putting in calc and hitting graph

6. Find how high the object went. Round to the nearest tenth. EXPLAIN HOW YOU FOUND IT: 1st 11.67f 2nd 24.58 putting in calc and hitting graph

Scatterplot

Kansas City Chiefs year to win
0/13
1/7
2/9
3/7
4/6
5/8
6/13
7/7
y=-0.19x+9.442
Correlation=-0.17
The Chiefs are going down they have had a couple good years but most of the time its not good. It's important so that you can learn how to compare multiple things and find out if it is a good idea to bet on a team or not.

1. Assigns a unique value to a input of a certain type.
2. It can be used to help the military,and to figure out peoples passwords.
3. You can also use it, so you can make a very hard to figure out password, that way hackers have more trouble. You can use this if you want to trick some of your friends. If you work in the military you could probably become some sort of spy. It is important also to use if you are some sort of computer coder to wright programs. Functions are also good to know when doing Algebra II.

Guess My #

I am Grant Foster, Senior in high school. After high school I would like to get into the field of computer engineering.

Pick A #: x
Multiply By 3: 3x
Subtract 6: 3x-6
Divide By 3: 3x-6/3
Subtract Original #: 3x-6/3 - x
