Period 2 Physics

Homework is to do problems 10-16 in Packet 2 (Projectile Motion). Due Friday.

If you lost your packet, you can download a new one HERE.

Schedule Update

Next week we will continue with 2D motion / projectile motion. There are two labs with this unit.

You should be reviewing your notes so far, and looking at the problems in the second half of the packet. We will finish going over problem solving next week and then do those problems.

Have a great long weekend.

Schedule

Tomorrow, Tuesday, both classes start 2 Dimensional Motion. This includes vectors, trigonometry, and Projectile Motion.

You should check out the following web sites as a preview and good overview of the topic:

http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/vectors/u3l1a.cfm

http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/vectors/u3l2a.cfm

Read over these pages, and the sub-sections.

Schedule

QUIZ MONDAY!!

Monday both classes will have a short quiz on 1D motion. You should review scientific notation as well as Packet 1.

We will have a quick review tomorrow, Friday, and you can ask questions before the quiz on Monday.

Email me with any questions over the weekend. (or ask your classmates :-) )

Period 1 - Homework, Packet #1, Problems #9-14 due Thursday. I will then assign another practice worksheet for homework and we will start the LAB.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Period 2 - Homework, Packet #1, Problems #9-14 due Tuesday. We will also explore some simulations at: http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/kinema/index.cfm

Go through each simulation listed (there are 13 of them) and make sure you understand the concepts. Please ask for help if you are confused or uncertain.

HOMEWORK: 1D review worksheet (5 problems) due Wed. You can find a copy of the worksheet HERE.

We will start the LAB Wed. also.
