Learning Goal: I’m working on a english discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.
This week’s discussion is all about Newton’s Third Law. Make sure you’re comfortable with his third law before going in to discussion.
- Find some objects that are experiencing forces. These objects can be real or virtual, and they can be at rest, moving, or even accelerating.
- Take a picture of those objects (if they are in the real world) or grab a screenshot of the online objects, or sketch a drawing of some imaginary objects.
- Reply to this discussion with the photo you took/screenshot, and if it’s from a YouTube video, the link to the video with motion. Include a brief description of the scene and how the objects are moving (since pictures don’t always convey motion well).
- This part you are just providing an image to others. Really, nothing else here.
- This initial reply is worth 5 points and is due February 23, 2024.
- After posting your image, go find someone else’s image within this thread.
- You will then download that image and draw on it with whatever program you can.
- Paint is ideal for this.
- Any tablet/phone sketching/note taking app could do this.
- If it’s difficult to download the image and draw on it, then just sketch it out yourself with pen and paper, and you will submit a photo/scan of your sketch.
- Once you have someone else’s photo and the ability to mark it up, sketch every force pair you can find on it.
- You do not have to find every force pair that exists, just all of the ones you spot.
- Provide a bit of explanation with each one.
- This should include information such as, what object is applying force to what other object.
- What/why this might be the case.
- The vector length should be the same for each vector in a pair.
- Reply to the other student who’s picture you marked up with your force pair image.
- This reply is worth 5 points and is due February 25, 2024.
- Ensure you are subscribed to the discussion, so you remember to come back and view the replies to your post!
Grading: This discussion is due by the end of the day on February 25. You may post after it is due, however if you are late there will be a 10% penalty per day, up to a maximum of 50% off for over 5 days late. (That is, if you are 5 or more days late, you can still participate for half credit.)
Here is an example of what I’m looking for:
Student A submits the following photo:
