Pendulum packet

Begin a lengthy packet on pendulum math problems. This packet will take up the rest of the week. 

Pendulums. We will meet in the classroom for attendance, then go to the lab. 

Take notes on simple harmonic motion and begin to look at the basics of pendulum math

Have a good spring break

Good luck on public speaking

FRQ on momentum

Post-lab questions from the virtual lab, then begin FRQ on momentum

Go to the website and follow the instructions on the handout to complete the virtual lab. The screenshot shows you which boxes and features to have checked and unchecked as you complete this. Note that collisions is set to "slow" and "more data" box is checked. the You can click on the values in the velocity and mass boxes to edit those values as needed. Leave the "distance" values alone. You want to pause the simulation shortly after the collision shortly after the collision to get your "after" value. All information regarding momentum is displayed on the screen, but all of the tables regarding kinetic energy rely on your calculations. K = 1/2mv^2. Answer all pre and post-lab questions in addition to completing the tables and turn in your completed packet for a grade.

Bring Chromebook. Virtual activity on collisions. 

Work collision problems

Notes on conservation of momentum, elastic, and inelastic collisions

Review the basics of momentum that we covered this week. We will move on to collisions next week.

No class. Mississippi College Math and Science Tournament. If you are not attending that, then you are free to leave.

Work problems involving finding and utilizing the coefficient of friction

End the week with looking at some some basic systems involving a single force acting on several objects at once.

Go the website, and a type of surface by clicking "Type of Surface" and record that in your table


1. Click on the object mass arrows and pick whatever you want. Record that value (in grams, as it shown on the screen) in the table
2. Click "start" and let the trial complete. Use the graph to determine your values for static and kinetic friction, and record those values in the table.
3. Click "Reset" and repeat steps 1-3 with a different mass. The first trial for everyone is 0, so you will do this a total of 4 times with 4 different masses each time until you have 5 total data points.
4. After your table is complete, look at the graphs that were generated below. Use the graphs to determine the coefficient of static and kinetic friction for your type of surface and record those values.
5. Submit the google sheets file when you are done.

Take a look at tension, how it works, and how it can be applied in systems

Bring your chrome books. You will do a virtual lab on determining the coefficient of friction. Everything you need for it will be posted on the day of. 

Calculate friction, and learn how to use that information to determine the coefficient of friction between two objects
