Today's school session involved some physics experiments. We wanted to use velocity to predict the range of a moving object, when movement is expressed in 3-dimensional terms. Of course, velocity is defined as the rate of change of distance per unit time, but is generally expressed in a single dimension. Often, trajectory will be used in tandem with velocity to predict range, but we wanted to eliminate the parabolic effects of gravity upon the trajectory of a moving object - in other words, eliminate trajectory altogether by testing the velocity of an object on a level plane.

We began by constructing a launch platform, which consisted of three straight sections of PVC pipe, each with a diameter of 5.08 cm, and a length of 1.219 meters. Next, three projectiles were selected randomly from a box containing a wide variety of objects. Each participant was asked to use their knowledge of the properties of 3D velocity to predict the ultimate outcome of the launch. These projectiles were then simultaneously released down the pipe, results were recorded, and then compared with the Headmaster's prediction of outcome. The process was repeated for several hours.

The Headmaster is pleased to report that he did, in fact, kick some student ass.

(how are we ever going to get the the real Homer?)
