WATER BALLOON FIGHTS ARE THE BEST! I was thinking of what to write for this week's journal. Being relevant to what we are learning, I thought of the projectiles in life and of pictures that I have. Then I remember having a water balloon fight and how the aiming technique is sort of like the MONKEY HUNT lab we did. Well even if it is not exactly like it, when the water balloon is thrown, it is a projectile. It's the same as the video we had to "cut" up and observe their graphs. The Y position graph takes the shape of an upside down parabola and its velocity graph is a negative linear graph. The X position graph is a positive linear graph and its velocity graph is almost a a straight horizontal line, having a slope of zero. However, it does not because of the effects of air resistance. So next time you are having a water balloon fight, throw it differently and think of how its 4 graphs would look like and have fun ^.^
