Work and Power notes

Tuesday (per 1) and Wednesday (per 3,4,6) we did Work and Power. We did #1-4 from the Packet in class and went over them in class.

Slides for the lecture are here:

Thursday (Per 1 and 3) and Friday (period 4 and 6) we will do part 2, which is Energy. Slides for that will be posted on Thursday or Friday.

Tips and Tricks for Searching with Google

This is a great infographic that has been making the rounds on the internet. It shows some great tips on doing better (ie. more targeted) searches on Google.

Homework will be to finish packet (#7-14)

Momentum - 1st part

Between Tuesday and Friday of this week, all the physics classes will have the 1st part of Momentum done.

Here are the lecture notes (just for the 1st part):

Homework after the first part is #1-6 in the packet. Due the next class.

Solution to challenge problem from the other day

The other day I put a challenge problem on the board.

You had a box on a 30 degree incline that started at v0=0 and then reached v=8m/s after t=2 sec. You had to find the coefficient of friction.

Here is the solution. Notice how I did not plug any numbers in until the last minute and that the mass cancelled out.

Reminders!

Reminder!


QUIZ Monday on Forces. 


LAB Reports due Monday.


See post below this one for information and resources for the lab reports and for the quizzes. 




Also, I posted the solutions to the review problems that I assigned on Friday, 11/4/2011 here:
