Moving right along

Don't forget that Test #1 is due by Monday July 21st. Also, we're trying to finish this class before the end of July, so to that end, here's your reading and homework for the weekend.

Reading: for work and energy; http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/energy/energtoc.html
and for momentum;
http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/momentum/momtoc.html

Homework: Work and Power: problems 2,3,and 4
Potential and Kinetic Energy: problems 1,2, and 3
Impulse and Momentum: problems 1,2, and 3

Lab: Ballistic Pendulum

Test #1 now posted

Phys 105 Test #1 is now posted and is due by next Monday. Please write in pen, scan your work and then e-mail it to me at:
hannabnhs@gmail.com
I don't need to have your test, just your work with each problem numbered and your name on every page.
If you would prefer to fax it, e-mail me and I will arrange to have my fax ready to receive it.

Forces and measuring gravity

The assignment this week is:
Homework: Simple Forces - questions 1-3,5
Lab: Measuring Gravity
Also, be sure and read:
http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/newtlaws/u2l3a.html

Projectile Motion Lab

Today we did the first "real" lab in class - projectile motion. If you weren't there, please make sure that you make up the lab before our next class so you don't get behind.

All about vectors

The assignments about vectors are as follows:
First: read http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/vectors/u3l1a.html

then do Homework assignment: Simple Vectors
and

Tutorial: Vector tutorial at Hyperphysics

end with Simulation Assignments: Vector Addition
Spend some time with these assignments! Vectors can be tough, but I've simplified them as much as possible with these assignments.
