This week's lessons

The assignments for this week are as follows:
Simple Vectors, problems 1-4 located under the Homework assignments tab on the right

Vector Addition located under the Simulation Assignments on the right. I highly recommend doing the simulation assignment first.

An excellent reading about this topic, as well as an explanation and practice for the math can be found at http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/vectors/u3l1a.html

First assignments

Nice to meet you all today! The first assignment will be:
Scientific Notation Tutorial - for those who need to brush up
Equations - problems 1-5
Velocity - problems 1-4
I recommend reading through the following tutorial to help you understand what velocity is all about: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/1DKin/U1L1d.html
This week's lab will be on-line:
Constant velocity versus acceleration

Final push to the end!
