Mini-assignments
Weight & mass app: on different planets, effect of altitude, effect of depth
- post team members below
- do screen capture for sharing
- explore the app on each assigned aspect and share screen images via keynote or otherwise.
- different planets: obtain 6 sets of values of weight w (of 100 kg mass) for each planet (of mass M)
- research on mass M of planets
- use DataAnalysis plot a graph of M vs w
- share briefly on key insights
- Presentations
- effect of altitude: show graph, describe the effect, share briefly on key insights
- effect of depth: show graph, describe the effect, share briefly on key insights
Wooden toys: woodpecker-fall, kangaroo-climb, toss-n-catch-the-ball
- post team members below.
- for each toy, explore how it works (especially in terms of dynamics and kinematics)
- share your understanding using images and video.
- Presentations

Could u also try to plot M/(r^2) against W
M = mass of planet
r = radius of planet
W = weight of 100 kg mass

Updated graph(the previous one was wrong): https://www.dropbox.com/s/ytlaxyh6x7sgpeq/Mass%20of%20Planet%20against%20Weight%20of%20100kg%20ball-2.png
