Micah Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 My students have a daily problem that they are do do the moment they enter my classroom. This was today's problem: Can you tell I'm waiting on pins and needles for my bullets to come in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Lol, good one getting your students to figure the velocity you need. Tomorrow have them figure it for 172 so you have a chrono cushion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) I don't either. How is that helpful, when the whole concept of you shooting MAJOR is only theoretical? Edited May 5, 2010 by Chris Keen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwin garcia Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I know Math is an exact science but the formula below can be a source of healthy debate among your shooters, I mean students: 2A == 1M MAke sure they have overlay cards with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLM Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't want to get it! I don't either. How is that helpful, when the whole concept of you shooting MAJOR is only theoretical? Something for you guys to noodle on... http://www.math.utah.edu/~pa/math/0by0.html I'm sure Mr. Bender caught the reference to his equation... if he were in a hurrrrrry in the morning and forget the 1 in the 1000 in the denominator of his daily exercise and just scrawl 000 on the board he would then have a division by zero problem. Major, Minor... You tell me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modoc Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm surprised you didn't write "May the Fourth" on the board. As my wife said today "Happy Star Wars Day, May the Fourth Be with You!"

Chris Keen Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Math Problem #2 change the projectile weight from 200 to 180 and try again. You will get much better results. PS your cannon looks like it's pregnant. Or is that the "Glock Bulge" we always hear about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
