Week 9 Blog, Due Sunday, October 27th, 2013 by 11:00 pm
We have been working with translating graphs from a description of motion to qualitative p-t graphs, v-t graphs, a-t graphs and motion maps. What has been the greatest difficulty for you? Are you still struggling with any of them? If so, which ones? Next week we will be moving into the quantitative graphs (numbers and calculations), so if you are having a lot of trouble without numbers, you need to stay for tutorials. Remember, each unit builds on the previous unit so it is very important for you to have mastered the concepts we have covered so far. I am here to help you, but you need to put in the effort for real learning to occur.

1st Post!!! I'm too lame and strange tho. Hashtag Sweg. Well anyways I'm really having trouble with the a-t graphs because anything dealing with acceleration gets to me. Tutorials and some extra guidance should help me! The struggle is real with this one.
ReplyDeleteMe too but if you really pay attention to the notes she gives us and understand them, they will actually help a lot
Deleteim also have trouble with this topic
DeleteThat topic is pretty confusing. I believe the notes may help a lot!
DeleteNotes help a lot, but without them I'm still kind of confused. Hopefully, Ms. Ego's input will help a bunch.
DeleteGoing over notes and staying for tutorials should help . Also study time is also a plus.
DeleteI was having trouble creating the graphs based off the others but I think after Tuesday's notes and today's work I understand it better
ReplyDeleteBasing of others? Do you mean from the data collected?
DeleteYeahhhhhhhh, me too, but just the acceleration graphs.
DeleteI agree
DeleteThe velocity-time graphs are troubling me because I don't understand why there 2 lines and how each graph is representing positive or negative slope. But I'm pretty sure the notes taken on Wednesday will help me with that.
ReplyDeleteThat true the notes helped me a lot.
DeleteHi Mrs. Ego I was having trouble with the acceleration graphs but today during class it clicked. It helped to see the work of everyone else and see the corrections made on the white boards.
ReplyDeleteYeah that white board activity helped a lot especially when she would ask why we did what we did ...! :-)
DeleteEveryone seems to have trouble with acceleration graphs and I'm just here like ( ._.)
Deleteim having trouble with velocity time graphs because the diagonal lines throw me off sometimes
ReplyDeleteThe a-t graph were the most confusing to me. I understand most of it but I don't understand how to find if it is a negative or positive acceleration. I'm sure tutorials would help a lot. The work we did in class yesterday was very helpful. all I need is to better understand the a-t graphs and ill be good.
ReplyDeleteThe a-t graphs are confusing
DeleteI had a hard time with the a-t graphs too
DeleteEverything else, but acceleration, is fine. On a spectrum from full comprehension to severely lost, I would fall in the middle. I understand how to determine/demonstrate the acceleration on motion maps, pictures, graphs. The only problem is acceleration on P-T graphs. I'm not completely sure how to graph some of them. I'm not sure if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm having trouble on those too!
DeleteI'm having the same trouble as you man
DeleteThe biggest difficulty for me is the acceleration graphs and vectors. I get confused with them sometimes but looking at my notes in my notebook helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteI'm a tad confused on acceleration graphs, I seem to understand the others well.
ReplyDeleteI am also having trouble with the acceleration graphs. It looks like a lot of people also have the same struggle.
Deleteyes i agree with you, this is the only thing that I'm having trouble in.
DeleteIt's probably because they're new to us.
DeleteI'm slightly confused with acceleration graphs, I understand the other ones just fine. I look back to my notebook constantly, but I still get confused from time to time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should stay for tutorials and get help with it.
DeleteI have troubles with the motion graph especially when graphing acceleration but it's just simple mistakes I make...I will definitely stay for tutorials tho:)
ReplyDeleteI haven't fully gotten how to do accelerations on graphs, that's my main trouble/=.
ReplyDeleteI can be your hero and change that for you
DeleteDoing and understanding the acceleration graphs is one of my weaknesses right now.
ReplyDeleteSame here! We should stay for tutorials!
DeleteAsking for help can make a difference.
DeleteI seem to understand p-t graphs and used to understand v-t graphs, but now that the line is not straight, I don't understand it. The a-t graphs are even more confusing. Honestly, I feel lost now. I will for sure stay for tutorials to get a better grasp of these graphs.
ReplyDeleteThe curved graphs are also a real bother
DeleteI agree. The curves are a bit confusing.
DeleteI don't seem to understand the acceleration graphs. I get so confused with all the different graphs. I try to study but that doesn't really seem to help. I should probably stay for tutorials.
ReplyDeleteor just ask for help from one of your classmates. I get it more when another student explains it to me.
DeleteI am more confused with v-t and acceleration graphs. All the slanted and curved lines throw me off.
ReplyDeleteThis is Erick Ramirez
ReplyDeletea-t graph is the one that is the one that gets me confused at times but a few more practice problems and I should be good.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that I'm still finding a bit difficult is the acceleration and time graph, but the notes we took on thursday are helping a lot.
ReplyDeleteYes those notes are really helpful. ! :)
DeleteWeeelll I've been having a little trouble understanding the p-t graphs, but with the notes, I understood them alittle better. What I need to do is come to tutorials more and I knoe I will get it by then :-)
ReplyDeleteBecause the v.t graphs now have a slope, they give me more trouble, he a.t graphs are not that difficult but I could use more help so that the info is concrete
ReplyDeletehelp is good
DeleteAsking a classmate when in need can always help.
DeleteI having trouble with everything, but i will study soon when i get enough money for a computer. :)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that gets me sometimes is deciding whether a curve is slowing down or speeding up on the p-t graphs, but once I look at my notes I understand it. The rest of the concepts I understand pretty well.
ReplyDeleteNot really struggling on any right now. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good
Deletegood for you :D
Deleteyou smart.probably too smart :o
Deletelucky!! can you help me out if you can
DeleteI was struggling with the velocity vs. time graph but I looked over my notes and I got it.
ReplyDeleteThe velocity-time graphs are difficult to me because I don't understand how ther 2 lines work and how each graph is representing positive or a negative slope negative slope. But the notes will help
DeleteI also felt the same way, and the notes do help me with it as well.
DeleteI still don't quite understand the v-t graph. When their is a change in speed, I don't know which way the line is suppose to go. Everything else is ok for me, I just need to study.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how to set a p-t graph when lines are curved or when its slowing down and speeding up, but everything else is kind of okay. My notes sometimes help but then I get lost again.
ReplyDeleteI had trouble with the a-t graphs, but since I've been using my notes I don't have trouble with any.
ReplyDeletea-t graphs missing that lesson has me confused
ReplyDeleteI get mixed up with which graph is which or what rule goes with which
ReplyDeletei have trouble with most of them even though i understand it im still kinda confused
ReplyDeletei understand the graphs but when it comes to negative and positive its a little confusing.
ReplyDeleteI was having problem with the a-t graphs, but im currently not having any problems
ReplyDeleteAt the time I had difficulty grasping the concept of the velocity-time graph because I would get the acceleration-time graph confused with it. We were doing a warm up in class while it was being addressed what the two graphs were it snapped and I caught on.
