Physics is a class taught by Mrs. Chase where we go through and evaluate physic's topics. Specifically, we use algebra and calculus to connect concepts, equations, and graphs related to mechanics and gravitation. In this class, we design, build, and debug our own lab experiments. In these labs, we analyze data using statistical methods and reporting our findings through written literature.
In physics, we are often given multi-step problems to solve and write a report on. These problems combine multiple units we covered, ensuring that we are able to connect ideas across units together. Attached above is one of these problems. In this write-up, you will find our problem statement, or process, our solution, as well a few extension questions to further the problem in the future.
In physics, we create and test our own research questions in labs we set up and run. Attached above is the report for one of the experiments I conducted. In this experiment, I was trying to find how the weights of a Modified Atwood's Machine would change relative to each other in order to be able to barely overcome static friction with an acceleration of 0. This project was my first time creating my own physics lab, and it was super rewarding to be able to prove my hypothesis
