Mimmo's 12th Blog

What science ideas did you learn?

This week we did a lot of the same stuff as we did last week. We did more force diagrams and motion diagrams. The many thing we really learned was that when two objects hit the forces are equal. For example when someone hits a golf ball with a club when they hit (lets say) they both put 50N on each other. The only reason the ball moves forward and the club doesn't move back is that the club is every.

How did you learn these ideas?

We learned this idea because Mr. Finley told us to draw a force diagram of a golf ball being hit by a golf club. When we drew it, we had to draw to separate diagrams because they were two different objects working on different things.

Why is it important to know this idea (What real world application is there)?

It is important to know this because one day I could be playing golf with Whoopi Goldberg and she might ask me to draw force diagrams for her hitting the ball. I would then think back to 8th grade science and draw a perfect one.
