11/12 physics update and homework due 11/19

Hi folks,

Today I introduced the concept of force diagrams also known as free body diagrams. We worked on them a bit in class and this week's homework will ask you to work on them a bit more. We also did a fairly complex lab asking the students to use their formulas and math skills to determine several aspects of a catapult.

For homework this week:
Finish the calculations in the lab if you haven't already done so in class.

Do the enclosed .pdf. Answers for the force diagrams are enclosed so you can check yourself.
