  1. Which step of EDP evaluates the pros and cons of different ideas? • A. STEP 3 • B. STEP 4 • C. STEP 5 • D. STEP 6 Question of the DAY DEC 11

  2. Discuss the quantities of velocity involved in the throwing of a projectile (THINK Vectors!!!). • Explain your answer using mathematic principles. DO NOW DEC 11

  3. Both Vx and Vy are equally important. • Equal horizontal and vertical velocities will provide the projectile with the maximum distance in travel. • If Vx is greater than Vy, the projectile’s trajectory will push it downward into the ground. • If Vy is greater than Vx, the projectile’s trajectory will push it upward causing it to lose energy and shorten the distance it travels. • How do you achieve equal horizontal and vertical velocities? DO NOW ANSWERED DEC 11

  26. Catapults use stored energy to hurl a projectile without the use of an explosive charge. The three primary energy storage mechanisms are tension, torsion, and gravity. (Real-World Physics) THE PHYSICS OF A CATAPULT

  27. Tension is the pulling force exerted by a string, cable, chain, or similar solid object on another object. • Tension is the opposite of compression force. • Measured in Newtons (N). • PE when drawn or taut (C) • Energy = 0 at rest (B) • KE when released (A) TENSION

  28. Bows and Crossbows • Composite bow is a traditional bow laminated together. • When the bow is drawn, the sinew (stretched on the outside) and horn • (compressed on the inside) store • more energy than wood for the • same length of bow. Examples of Tension

  29. Muscle Fibers create tension during a muscle contraction. • Muscle fibers slide across one another producing tension. Examples of Tension

  30. Torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque. • Torque is a rotational force. • An object tends to rotate about a fixed object. Torque = Force x Lever Arm Distance TORSION

  31. Torque

  32. Flexible elastic object that stores mechanical energy when it is twisted. • Torsion bar suspensions Examples of Torsion

  33. Examples of Torsion

  34. A counterweight is an equivalent counterbalancing weight that balances a load. Counterweight

  35. Which of the following is not measured in Newtons? • A. Tension • B. Compression • C. Weight • D. Stress Question of the DAY DEC 18

  38. BIG QUESTION: How can energy be used to launch a projectile? • 1. Question of the DAY and DO NOW • 2. Catapult Physics – Forces • 3. Measurements and Scaling • 4. Review and Homework • 5. Catapult Teams – Presentations • DUE MONDAY DEC 23 AGENDA DEC 18

  39. When a counterweight is greatly overbalanced on one end of a lever, it can produce large amounts of energy. Potential Energy vs. Kinetic Energy Counterweight is not moving vs. moving. Counterweight

  40. Catapults work by storing energy in twisted ropes. • They function much like an archery bow. • The tension stored is released as kinetic energy. The Mangonel Catapult

  41. The trebuchet uses a counter-balance weight to rapidly rotate the throwing arm when the weight is released. The Trebuchet

  42. The twisted rope is commonly referred to as a torsion bundle. • It consists of several lengths of rope with the arm inserted in between them. • The rope is then twisted manually on both sides of the arm using levers. • Upon release, the torsion bundle rotates the arm at high speed, launching the payload. Generating Energy

  43. A wooden bridge has a width of 28 feet and a length of 120 feet. Accurate testing of the bridge’s efficiency requires you to build a scale model of it. If the scaled width of the bridge is 7 feet, what is the scaled length of the bridge? • A. 20 • B. 28 • C. 30 • D. 40 Question of the DAY Dec 19
