but only the kinetic friction (coefficient part) |

|
homework (by 5 pm) |
& 5(27) (and you've already read pp. 129-130, right?) |
|
6(29) [you must do 2 force diagrams: one for the massless pulley and one for the hanging mass] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A7 part A only |
A7 part D but only draw the force diagram at write the 2 net force equations |

know the
difference between Newton's 2nd law/1st law pairs & Newton's 3rd law pairs know what a scale reads/measures know WHEN (UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES) a scale actually reads weight |
|
presentations are now scheduled for monday however, i strongly suggest you finish the lab today, just in case you have questions about your matching table |
|
(always done before class) |
pp. 109 - 114 but ignore examples in shaded boxes |
|
|
and 1 page on the normal force: mid p. 126 to mid p. 127 |
our first problem with inclines |
in class presentation |
Questions
(not problems!) 5(1,5) on page 131 you MUST use Newton's laws explicitly as explanations for your answers! |
problem 5(2) follow the 7-step procedure |
6(40 a AND c ONLY no part b required) |
||
|
homework by 5 pm |
5(10, 17) on page 132 you must use Newton's laws explicitly as explanations for your answers! |
|
remember to refer to the 7-step procedure in your notes (both for the Fnet problem and also for the requisite dvat problem) question 5(13); this question has 2 parts: 1) why is the horse's logic faulty? (why isnt the net force on the cart = 0) 2) what force actually DOES accelerate the cart? the horse? |
|
& question 5(8); once again. explicity mention which of Newton's laws you are using in your explanations |
|
|
|
read lab carefully in advance! |
|

Questions (not problems!) 5(1,5) on page 131 you MUST use Newton's laws explicitly as explanations for your answers! |
written homework due by 5 pm |
4(33)
+ Projectile Problem C (you should have at least 3 conclusions from your data table) (PINK handout) projectile applet is here |
challenge D (plus you're practicing on your
own)
|
for next monday: questions (not problems!) 5(10, 17) on page 132 you must use Newton's laws explicitly as explanations for your answers! |

|
|
|
|
(remember that the differences between the 4 quantities obtained in 2 different ways MUST be less than 5%) |

labor day, students (and I) return |
before coming to class the experiments you will view are performed on a slanted air hockey table; first a puck is released from rest on the slanted air hockey table; then a puck is launched upward along the slant of the air table; do the motions you see make sense? we analyze them in lab today |
review the blow gun problem that we did last thursday, so that the problem and the numbers are fresh in your mind |
|
(block A: did you find the mistake in the last line i wrote down on the board today? why is the horizontal range NOT = - 2vi2/a ?) |
|
(always done before class) |
|
after viewing a drop and launch (see above), read the INTRODUCTION & GOALS (turquoise handout) skip the PRELAB (it's friday's homework) read pages 3-4 of the PROCEDURE |
read section 4(3) before class |
(but if you can read the first half of 4(5) also that would be great) |
& section 4(5) |
|
homework |
|
|
by 5 pm: problem 4(12) |
|
homework by 5 pm done in the GREEN lab book: the A4 prelab and NOTE... most of the prelab consists of 3 d-v-a-t problems... are you exempt from drawing a picture, displaying i and f, etc etc ?? NO! |

be ready to use it cherry sheet #37 |
if you didnt finish the quadratic fit to the basketball data in class Monday, bring it to class today COMPLETED and show me and i'll give you most of the credit |
2(32):
transfer to middle of a blank page; draw the
position-vs-time graph above and draw the acceleration-vs-time graph
below walk-around-quiz |
|
(chapter 2 including all lab stuff) bring the 5 graphs with their quadratic fits |
|
(always done before class) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
homework |
& cherry #41, Walker 2(73) to turn in by 5 pm |
|
(CLASS PROBLEM) show work! cherry sheets problems 58, 22 |
|
|
|
|
|
usual stuff (ToC; title; goal; date) PLUS put in the data table we talked about in class Monday morning AND make 4 acceleration predictions lab A2 due @ 5 pm |
|
|
|
|
|
|
have you put up a problem solution (that we havent done in class or for homework) on the bulletin board in the physics hallway? |
