bring to class the 3 important "D" principles, one each from chapter 7, 8, and 9 each principle will look like D something = something else |
know 1) where the spring energy formula came from (i.e., how they derived it) 2) how to do conservation of energy problems (which D principle is involved?) also, the goldfinch problem [13(21)]: where (in what position) is the acceleration a maximum? |
bring
your second (unused as of yet) lab book to class, because we might use
it in lab today |
|
|
|
(always done before class) |
|
& finish 13(5) see above entry in "class" |
3 spring/energy examples in chapter 8: pp. 207, 215, 216 but we are having a lab quiz that covers everything we have done so far (if you have kept up with the lab work and reading, there's no need to study) |
another example of SHM in your reading, look for 1) an SHM equation 2) a restoring force equation 3) an pendulum energy equation that looks like the spring energy equation |
be able to define and talk about damped motion and about resonance |

homework (by 5 pm) |
& the list of D principles |
|
1) instead of what the problem says, at time = 0, the displacement is 0.023 meters (but, use the same amplitude and same period as given in the text) & 2) find the equation of motion (i.e., A, B, C, and D) then do what the problem asks: find out the position at the time given in the problem & 6(18) (i think this problem has an inequality in it) |
|
& 13(66) assume that the 13(41b) spring is horizontal (because it's easier) |
|
|
(parts 1 - 3) in spring lab by the end of the day & get all checks (checkers available after school and during tutorial until 6:30 pm |
|
|
(parts 1 - 4) due at 5 pm |

if i am keeping your spring, and you want it and i'm not here, it's in one of the plastic baggies, just inside my door, under the light switch i am hoping that you have finished through part 2, #6b in lab yesterday... question #6b asks you about 4 different ways in which the two different oscillations (#5 and #6a) could be different once you have done #6b (or thought about the two different graphs that could result), make a list of the 4 things that could be different about the graphs of the 2 oscillating masses |
one each from chapter 6, 7, and 8 each principle will look like D something = something else |
