Title: Motion sac
Post by: MrsStark on March 10, 2015, 07:00:38 pm
Hey all,

what are you guys doing for the Motion sac? I have mine on Friday and I don't really know what to expect, my teacher hasn't told us anything about it except that its based on Motion..
And if you've already done that sac, is it fun? :)

when i did my physics motion-related sacs it was split into two. One was a test and the other a prac (report) on a choice of three topics; I did mine on springs/Hooke's law

EDIT: If your SAC turns out to be test-based, expect the stuff that rarely appears on past exams (expect the unexpected)- including displacement/velocity/acceleration - time graphs (including constructing one from another) and gravitational force/field - distance graphs

Our's was 5 hours of hell: 2 hours of prac and 3 hours of writeup. Investigating the relationship between two variables basically

That is literally the same as my 'prac'-related component, with 2 independent variables and one dependent variable (spring constant, mass, and extension respectively)

Ours were the deflection of a cantilever beam with weight force, and the time versus distance for a ball on an inclined slope... Simple but not fun
