The Graff Family

Well now apparently we have to blog today's homework (which is a lot of work in my opinion: figuring out the questions + what you did wrong + writing them all out nice and big + taking photos + importing them + inserting them + thinking of what to say in this blog...but I'm not complaining ;] ). It's page 71 to 72 in the textbook, #45, 47, 56, 58, and 60.

Now to the more interesting stuff. Today we learned about the Graff family (it's a real name by the way, as in Steffi Graf, the famous tennis player, but with two F's). Their name rhymes with Graph for a reason, but even so call them the Graff's : they hate being called Graphs. Another name for them is the Big Five.
Anyway, Mommy (or ze maza) and Daddy (or ze faza) Graff both come from or are derived velocity-time graphs. Maybe I will blog about how some other time. The rest of the family are derived from Mommy and Daddy. This I may also blog at that other time.



That's ze faza aka Daddy Graff. The block under his eyes are supposed to be a mustache, and the v's are supposed to be vectors. My bad.


Now Daddy and Mommy are together. Mommy has very curly hair. I also forgot one of her vectors for initial velocity. Careless mistake.



Next come the twins: a girl and a boy. They're very similar...even their hair is almost the same. He only lacks three of the things she has: another X-chromosome, a bow, and a value for initial velocity.


Now we have Baby Graff. The baby is a little weird...it actually has no vector signs...sorry...but together they make the whole family !

Notice that each of the family members (equations) is missing one value. For example, Mommy has no displacement, while Daddy has no acceleration. This means they need to work together to solve your problems.

*Every d is really supposed to have a delta symbol in front of it, because displacement is a difference. Here it's not written; it's understood to be there.
