Physics Bowl: block A is traveling on an inclined plane that has non-negligible friction. It is given an initial velocity v, travels up the incline, momentarily comes to rest, then slides down the incline. Is the acceleration greater on its way up the incline or down the incline?

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

Physics bowl: how fast is the object in the previous question moving at the bottom of the incline?

Physics Bowl: an object of mass 2 kg starts at the top of a ramp with non-negligible friction that is 3 m high. If the force of friction did -10 J of work on the object, how much kinetic energy does it have at the bottom of the ramp?

Physics Bowl: what does it mean when something is “rolling without slipping”?

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

Physics Bowl: what equation would I use for angular momentum of an object moving with a linear velocity?

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

Physics Bowl: Ball A and B are at the top of a table. Ball A is thrown downward with a velocity v. Ball B is thrown horizontally with a velocity v. Which ball reaches the ground first and which one has a greater velocity when it hits the ground?

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

Physics Bowl: a disk, with rotational inertia I is spinning with an angular velocity ω. A second disk, with rotational inertia 2I is placed on top of the first disk. With what angular velocity will the pair of disks spin with afterwards?

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

Physics Bowl: use parallel axis theorem to solve for the rotational inertia of a rod about its end if the rotational inertia of the rod about its center is 1/12 ML^2

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

Physics Bowl: a ball is launched from the ground at a velocity v, at an angle θ with the horizontal. What is the velocity and the acceleration at the top of the projectile?

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

PB: Ball A, B, and C are at the top of a cliff of height h. Ball A thrown vertically upward with a velocity v, ball B is thrown horizontally with a velocity v and ball C is thrown vertically downward with a velocity v. Compare the time of flight for each and their final speeds.

@matthewlardi wooooooo! Still got it🥳

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

PB: ball A is rolled horizontally off of a table. Ball B is dropped from the same height. Which ball will reach the ground first and why?

[Miss Hastings @ITphysics]

Physics Bowl: what is conserved in an elastic collision?

PB: what does it mean for an object to be in free fall?

[Stokes School @WeRStokes]

Our end of PARP WAS out of this world! Thanks to ⁦@MsRadcliffe1⁩ and ⁦@ITphysics⁩ collaboration, we celebrated from MARS! The students met their reading goal and I was blasted into the universe! A special shout out to period 6 HS robotics students!
