10/24 Coleman

Today we presented our posters and stories explaining the death of Barbie Einstein. The time was 2.1 sec and the horizontal velocity was 7.3m/s. The stories shared similar themes of drug and alcohol deaths. Except Jacob's, which involved her getting shot out of a cannon. After we turned in our boards Mrs. Coats-Haan told us what really happened to Barbie. She then gave us two questions for homework. The first was about our assumptions and how we would explain them to a grand jury. The second was how high she would need to be the make the jump to the pool moving at 8m/s. Mrs. Coats-Haan also gave us 3 sheets at he beginning of class. They were The Case of the Scientific Aristocrat, HAC check, and The Non-Linear Motion Test Review.

QOD- 8m/s is 17.89mph. The fastest running speed recorded is 27.79mph. So, it's possible that someone could move that fast. That speed is definitely a running speed because walking would be much slower.
