10/29 Physics update and Homework Due 11/5

Hi folks,

Sorry, I really thought I sent this already.

This week we got quite mathy as we dove a bit deeper into using our gravity formulas to solve some more complicated problems.

We also entered the realm 2 dimensional motion and I introduced vectors as we worked on understanding projectile motion.

Homework for this week is to do all 6 of the "Think and Solve" questions on page 42 of the Conceptual Physics book.

10/22 Physics update and homework due 10/29

Hi folks,

Today we took another look at gravity and many of the very strange aspects of it. We also worked a bit with some formulas based on the gravitational constant.

Homework for this week is to:

Read Conceptual Physics pgs. 10 - 24
Do Review Questions on pg 25 and 26 #'s 4 - 14

Do the Plug and Chug problems on Pgs 26 and 27 #'s 1-8.

Recording for 10/15 Physics Class

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwYfxBoT8fs 

10/15 Physics Class Update and Homework due 10/22

Hi folks,

Today we took a look at velocity, distance and acceleration graphs in order to get a better handle on reading graphs and understanding what they are really telling us. We also began our lesson on gravity which we will continue next week.

To continue working with graphs, I want you all to spend some time with the following simulation. I've also included a .pdf that I would like you to fill out using the simulation.
