Spring certainly is here. Check out our beautiful tulips growing near the school entrance. We are now moving on to the study of motion as related to our physics unit. As the Xavier secondary students are so amazing, the deadline for the Mystery Class guesses (city/town, country, latitude, longitude) is THIS Friday. We will spend Friday using the laptops to conduct the final research. The homework and DUE dates are as follows:
Wednesday, April 22: Answer the following questions
- What is the difference between speed and velocity?
- What is the takeoff speed of a Boeing 737 airplane? A Boeing 747 airplane? What is the top speed of the fastest Ferrari car? Why does an airplane go up into the air when at the same speed a Ferrari stays on the ground?
-Mr. Pfiester
