Happy Turkey Day!!!
I will try to make this as entertaining and as mentally stimulating as I think it needs to be.
We started with the wonderful mental math.
Then we corrected/reviewed the answers to questions 1,2,5,and 7
**Check out the questions we corrected on the coursework drive because I don't know how to link things like that...I'm nearly computer illiterate
A note about answering questions...The way Max would like you to answer is, as an example: The resultant vector is measured to be 16.613 cm, which according to scale is 166.13 lbs in a direction of 70 degrees South of West or a bearing of 200 degrees or W 70 degrees S
The definition of a newton is: A unit used to measure the force it takes to move one kilogram of an object one meter in one second
The definition of "lb" is: the abbreviation for a pound or the Roman weight libra
Just a note...every time you forget to draw a vector head, Mr. Max must take a half mark deduction...and no one really wants to lose marks on something so small
Another note...Remember to fix points on Euklid when drawing the questions out
PARALLELOGRAM METHOD
1. Create the first vector, with itstail on the origin according to the scale.
2. Create V2 with its tail ALSO on the origin, aligned tail-to-tail with the first vector.
3. Construct parallels to each vector, such that a parallelogram is created.
4. Create he resultant vector. Its tail must be tail-to-tail-to-tail with the other two tails, and its head must be head-to-head-to-head with the newly constructed parallelogram sides.
The assignment is page B-6 #9 by hand or on Euklid if you have it at home or suddenly starts to work...
I thought this cartoon was appropriate considering its only one day after Thanksgiving.

Nice post Jessica...I'm wondering out loud here...Can we link files somehow (like the .pdf 'keys' for the student exercises) on our blog here, or will we have to host those files someplace else (My blog on November Learning's space seems appropriate if necessary)....Can someone check into this?
By the way, one of my seriously favourite comics is Foxtrot. Jason Fox is the best! Once you guys take integral calculus, you'll really get Jason's method for calculating areas of rectangles, but look up some of Bill Amend's work to giggle some more.
hey, that happy turkey day biz was mine. i sent like 20 text messages saying that on monday. o well, happy turkey day
