Torque Quiz

Torque Review. You should know what is coming on the math end of things, so this is really more about the concept and understanding what's happening and why. I'm going to have to leave a little early, so I'll have it posted on Monday afternoon so you can look over it so we can be sure to clear up anything that needs clearing up today. 

You will have a graded classwork on net torque problems now that we are all back together again. 

Juniors might as well skip too

Torque Lab

Torque Lab

Go over the practice problems that you all did last week largely on your own

Juniors - Finish and go over the work from yesterday.

Seniors - Again, the answers are posted. Show me the completed worksheet on Monday to receive credit for a completion grade, but it is up to you to understand how to work these and to ask me if there's any issue because we are moving on on Monday under the assumption we are all good on what we did this week despite me only actually seeing you all once. 

Juniors and Seniors will all be in class, but I won't be. You will have a worksheet on torque to complete. 

Juniors - This isn't homework. You will have time to finish it tomorrow in class.

Seniors - Whether you finish or not, hold on to it. I'm going to post the answers and go over it with the juniors tomorrow in class. It is your responsibility to make sure you understand it and to reach out to me or a classmate or ChatGPT or whatever, I don't care how or who, but we are moving on Monday assuming you understand what we did this week. 

Juniors - Complete and go over the rest of the practice problems

Seniors - The answers to the practice problems are posted. It is up to you to do them on your own and check. Come to me with any questions tomorrow BEFORE class.

Notes on Torque. Start the practice problems.

Day 2 of the lab. Actually do the experiment and get the data today.

Quiz on circular motion/centripetal force

Practice using past known formulas as centripetal force 

Classwork on circular motion now that we are all together

The seniors will be gone. Any juniors left are going to get a practical lesson in the force of tension by helping me move the baseball net away from the press box window so that I can actually see the field. 

Day 2 of the lab. Actually do the experiment and get the data today. 

Lab. Try and experimentally determine acceleration due to gravity through uniform circular motion. This will be a 2 day lab. Today is a lot of explanation and set-up so that tomorrow we can have the whole time to actually do the experiment. 

Wrap up the notes on centripetal force 

Notes on centripetal force. Gravity can act as a centripetal force, but other things can too. We're going broader into any force that causes something to move in a circle. 

Do Molley's lab about how wet you get in the rain if the weather is nice

Quiz on Gravitational Force

Review gravitation

Come do the work that I left with the sub on Thursday. If you are one of the three people who actually came to class on Thursday and did it already, you don't have to come. You're excused and I won't mark it as an absence. The rest of you will get a zero if I don't have it on my desk when I come in on Tuesday morning.

Test on Newton's Three Laws

Newton's 1st and 2nd laws review

THERE ARE NO FREE BODY DIAGRAMS ON THIS TEST

Due to popular demand, and us not really covering them since Christmas, we will reintroduce it next unit.

Look at the new key. That is all you will be responsible for for newton's 1st and 2nd law. 10 multiple choice questions will come from that information. The remaining 5 questions will be on Newton's 3rd Law. See yesterday's review for that.

Newton's Third Law Review

Also added the key to Thursday's work. I'll grade it and give it back tomorrow.

Review Newton's 3rd Law. You will have a test on all three laws next week, so most of Monday and Tuesday will be for reviewing the older stuff from before Christmas

Lab on Newton's 3rd Law

Finish up the notes and look more at the math component of Newton's third law.

You will have a sub (basketball) and an assignment on action/reaction pairs to complete for a grade

Practice problems on applying some of the concepts emphasized in the notes about things you can infer when objects are in free-fall.

This also serves as review for the quiz tomorrow. Be able to work and understand these problems and look over the graphs and key aspects of the notes I emphasized and you'll be fine. 

Notes and practice on problems involving objects in free-fall

Enter your data and answer the questions on the spreadsheet. Submit the assignment on here on Google Classroom when complete. Sunday at 11:59 PM

Bring your chromebooks. Begin notes on free-fall for the first part of class, then you'll have some time to finish up the free-fall lab questions.

Remember to submit your lab on Google Classroom by Sunday at 11:59 PM! Anything after that will be considered late.

Bring your chromebooks. Free-fall lab. You must complete data collection today. When you are done with that, you can move on to answer the questions. You will have time to complete the questions tomorrow as well.

Test on 1D Motion

I won't be here today.

You have a test tomorrow. It is 15 questions. 5 Free Response, 5 Multiple Choice, 5 math problems. It covers everything from distance-displacement to acceleration. Remember that your bookwork will be a source of the Free Response/Multiple Choice.

This sheet is a review of the acceleration problems. 

Don't do 6,7 and 9. We aren't messing with scientific notation on this test.

There are answers on the sheet itself but the first one is wrong. I have given the equations and the actual answers on the answer sheet.

Email me with any questions.

Review 1D Motion

We'll have to play this by ear. As of me writing this on Sunday afternoon, we don't know what exactly the pep rally schedule and dismissal times for cheer and dance will look like. You will have something that you got on Thursday to work on, and we will work on it with whatever time we have. If we finish it, great! If not, it's fine! We'll see!

Finish completing the second set of practice problems on your own, then go over it.

With whatever time we have left, we will at the very least pass out an assignment that focuses on both the conceptual understanding of acceleration, as well as the math aspect. This will NOT be homework! I just want to at least get it out to everyone since Friday is, as of me writing this on Sunday afternoon, still a bit of a question mark with regards to the pep rally and dismissal times.

Return the bookwork and go over it. Keep it as a reference and possible source of a conceptual question or two on your next quiz (hint hint, nudge nudge.)

Complete the practice problems from the note sheet on your own, then go over it as a class.

Begin working on a second set of practice problems involving all the variables we have covered thus far.

This is NOT homework. Bring it tomorrow and we will wrap it up and go over it.

Notes on Acceleration

Issue textbooks. Read pages 10-16, then complete questions 1-14 on page 25. You will turn this in for a grade. If you finish early, begin working the practice problems at the end of your note sheet, which we will begin with on Wednesday.
