compare
(Newton's) gravity force law with (Coulombs') electric force do one problem with 2 point charges |
superposition problems (problems with more than 2 charges) |

(always done before class) |

to
bring to class: remember the list we made in class of the special properties of Newton's gravity law on October 17? find it, and fill in a new column for properties of the Coulomb's electric force law |

graded work |
last Friday's homework [8(61,69)] is graded and can be picked up in the black box |
however, you have to share with partner this lab is graded out of 100, but it will count as a 35-point lab (high score was 92; median = 84) the swings and merry-go-round labs are graded and can be picked up in the black box (high score on both labs was 25; median on swings = 22; median on mgr = 23) you should now have all lab books graded and in your possession |

(deadline is tomorrow at 8 pm) |

IMPORTANT: it appears that I have lost SOME of the test corrections scores for the forces test that were just completed if you did test corrections for the forces test, please let email your test corrections score or bring by your corrected test there sure are a lot of graded papers in the "stray paper" envelope.... if yours are still there tomorrow afternoon, there will be a class commitment penalty |
amnesty hours (today from 5 - 7 pm): if your lab book wasnt graded for a previous lab (because it wasnt in the box, or wasnt finished or whatever) you have to show me the lab book personally during the hours above in order to get credit |

|
(always done before class) |
know the difference between conservative and non-conservative forces AND how to tell whether a force is one or the other |
example 8-5 example 8-6 |
Checkpoint 8-2 Snowboard |
Example 8-10 Block Thud |
look at one of the videos of the pendulum: 9(6) on elastic collisions know what an elastic collision means! |
