Energy and Cannons

I'm back for yet another awesome post! My class decided to write a post about Energy and Conservation of Energy in real world example. We also decided that we should use online tools, such a Glogster here, to create a story around the example. So, let me tell you a story about a freshman physics student who used his knowledge for a good cause...


Tools used (also stated in the Glogster):

  1. I really liked your glogster, and the idea of the guy shooting of a canon was very creative! Two things I would suggest:
    1. There are a lot of spelling mistakes in the white box on your glogster that starts with "Using the diagram..."
    2. You should probably explain what the spring constant is, instead of just saying you need to solve for k.
    I really like how at the end of the story instead of just ending the story with finding the spring constant, you wrote how Crazyman Carl did in the performace of actually shooting out of the canon. The physics was all correct, too. Good job!
