Wonderland Excursion! (1 Viewer)

[CHUDYMASTER]

Soon my cohort will be travelling to wonderland for physics for the space topic. Has anyone been on a similar excursion to Wonderland? If so, what did you do as far as physics goes?

 

[MR_MI6]

Yep I can't wait to go. Is yours on Nov 22nd.

 

[CHUDYMASTER]

Naw..

Ours is on Nov 18th. I hope it'll be deserted. Is it normally empty on a school day?

LOL the wonderland excursion was really fun
not really helpful physics wise. They just gave us a huge number of worksheets to do, and you just end up timing things, calculating basics like speed=dist x time
just go there and have fun...and either fudge or copy the answers off someone else
they rarely check it.

 

[CHUDYMASTER]

Wouldn't we...

Have to study projectile motion on the rides? And another thing, wouldn't it be hard to time such things when travelling at sub-light speeds?

its to do with g forces, like on the loop of a rollar coaster, compared to how astronauts get g forces

the space probe uses eddy currents, but i dought youve done motors and generators so dont worry

We went in year 10 for maths ...

MANSW organises these things, I think... not very useful though... seriously.
Just enjoy, fill out a quarter of the sheets and copy of someone else.

I'll give you an example of a question
"Time how long it takes to get from the bottom of space probe, to the top"
I'll always remember that one, cause I timed it, got to the top, looked up at the count down screen, and was shocked when it dropped that I let go of my stopwatch and had to grab it out of midair while I was dropping down
felt like I had a heart attack

 

[CHUDYMASTER]

Oh Oh..

Not the...Space Probe...

That doesn't sound like a physics question! surely there was more to it than just measuring the time it took to get up there...

 

[kaseita]

oh wait...

my worksheet dates back to march 28 2001
These are on yr11 physics! lol...that means yours will actually have something of substance in it!
have fun with it!

I think my brain has stopped time. I swear I went to wonderland sometime recently. aaargh! evil! evil hsc!

 

[buttercup]

the people at wonderland didnt have worksheets ready for us, and our teacher didnt make any either.. so we had a free day!

 

[kaseita]

oh well basically the same as ours. except you didn't have to lug those worksheets everywhere

hehe

our physics teacher just took us there to go on the rides, we never got given any sheets and didnt discuss any of it ever
he was the best teacher.. now its all over...
