homework (by 5 pm) |
& 2(32) (as we talked about in class, this means putting the velocity-vs-time graph in mid-page and constructing both the position-vs-time above and acceleration-vs-time graph below... also, remember to show all work required for each graph construction) |

bring lab A2 part 1b - 1d completed to class today all blocks: bring computer-printed graph of your A2 position-vs-time data to class today with a QUADRATIC FIT to the data [you should also do parts 2 (ab) of the lab] |
read over lab and make sure you have done all parts have you sketched all residuals? answered all questions? written a good conclusion? (lab guide, bottom back page, tells you what to include) |

re-do
the table that you did in class Friday, but this time for an object that is thrown downward with a speed of 30 m/s (i.e., the object has a speed of 30 m/s at time = 0, the instant at which it leaves your hand) as on Friday, the table should have 5 columns and 5 rows (the 5 rows are for time = 0,1,2,3,4 seconds) (if you have room in your Friday table, you might put the new entires just to the side of the old entries, but in a different color pen or pencil... this way you can easily compare them) |
do Salmon sheet acceleration-vs-time graph and bring to class (as before, think of the 9 intervals as 9 separate problems; dont worry about connecting pieces) also, bring the 3 graphs for blue sheet problem #31: they collectively should occupy the whole page, position-vs-time on top, velocity-vs-time in middle, acceleration on bottom and YES you should put some numbers on the graphs |
2(72) [chapter 2, number 72] & ALSO find out how high it goes [you may NOT assume that it takes 2.0 seconds to reach max height] |

do one last check to make sure that all your numbers have units, no line begins with a number, etc quiz questions from A1 (to help you annotate your lab books) |
|
C/D blocks: prepare 2nd lab book for lab A2 (table of contents AND title/goal/data table) |
F block: prepare 2nd lab book for lab A2 (table of contents AND title/goal/data table) |
bring lab A2 part 1b - 1d completed to class today (F block: same for monday) |
|
|
|
download Graphical Analysis
software to your computer (T drive) |
|

if you have time you can read (quickly) the Preface (to Studnet & chapter 1 (see syllabus link above for week "0") |
C/D blocks: read chapter 2 up through section 3 (p. 24) (if pressed for time, you can skip the "Examples" in these pages, which are generally shaded in a light color ; instead read these for Friday) know definitions (bold-face stuff) from the reading; be prepared to write them out in class from memory |
(again) F block: read chapter 2 up through section 3 (p. 24) (if pressed for time, you can skip the "Examples" in these pages, which are generally shaded in a light color ; instead read these for Friday) know definitions (bold-face stuff) from the reading; be prepared to write them out in class from memory |
section 2(7) up to the top of page 39, where example 2-10 starts |
|
due |
|
|
|
none | bring
SALMON sheet to class with velocity-vs-time graph completed |
|
|
|
dress appropriately (no exposed feet) know how you're going to find the max/min working range of the motion detector |
for all blocks: dress appropriately oral quiz after part D8/10 |
for all blocks: dress appropriately annotate your graphs in part D with the questions and answers from the oral quiz!! (you need to draw the graph of the cart/plunger hitting the wall and returning very carefully in your lab book) |
before Monday classtime (i should be here sometime 4:30 - 7:30 pm sunday afternoon if you & your partner(s) need to come in and finish up the lab and oral quiz)
