Today we took up homework questions from yesterday, and was given class time to get started on today's new handout package of practkce questions. No new lesson today. Reminder that the quiz is on Thursday. Here are some extra resources:

Today we were divided into teams and were given instructions to make a pendulum and graph the motion of it. The basic equation used to find the equation of the motion is:

A = 10e^(kt)cos(bt) where b is period, k is a constant, and A is the amplitude

We found the k value by plugging in the values for amplitude and period and then solving for k. Below is the results from our observation.

Weight Used: 50 grams String length: 35 cm Equations Determined: A = 10e^(-0.323t)cos(327t), t>0


 * time cannot be negaitive. The graph is on the negative side only becasue we needed to extend it to label the y-axis.
