Watch the tutorials that are linked here. These will give you much more detail about series and parallel circuits. Each is about 30 minutes long, so make sure you will have a good connection before starting each video. The link also takes you to a note taking guide for each episode. If you wish, you could print out the note taking guide and follow along using that! It would be a great way for you to be actively engaged in the lesson!

 

Extra Credit Opportunity: As will be discussed in class. 

 

Go to the following website: http://astro.unl.edu/naap/pos/animations/kepler.html. I have had the best success with these in Chrome

 

Finish your roller coaster design element. TUTORIALS CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://sites.google.com/a/mcgill-toolen.org/baderm/home/cp2-physics/unit-six-work-power-and-energy/roller-coaster-information/tutorials

 

From each group we need the following: 

Person 1: Wide Turn: (2)

Person 2: Sharp Turn: (2)

Person 3: Funnel: (1)

Person 4: Loop: (1) 

Person 5: Loop: (1) 

 

 

Person 6: Funnel (1)

Person 7: Sharp Turn (2)

 

HAVING MORE THAN FIVE PEOPLE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CAN SIMPLY SPLIT UP THE REQUIRED ELEMENTS! You cannot say, "Okay, one person will make one turn and the other person will make the second". 

 

You can also choose to make more columns and/or diagonal supports. If you make those, I expect 4 diagonal supports and 6 columns per person. 

 

These elements are expected to be completed (taped and ready to go) by the time you walk into class tomorrow. If you fail to have your work completed at that time, you will earn a ZERO for that assignment. 

 

Email me before 7:00 PM if you have any questions. 

 

 

 

 

Watch the fourth tutorial linked here, explaining the Work-Energy Theorem. 

 

Also. Start amassing supplies for your roller coaster project. 

You will need YOUR OWN 

 

HIGHLY recommended materials:

Here is the link to the Momentum Reading and Review Questions we've been working on in class...review questions due on WEDNESDAY!

 

Read pgs. 124-130 from the Conceptual Physics textbook. Reading can be found here: https://sites.google.com/a/mcgill-toolen.org/baderm/home/cp2-physics/unit-five-momentum-impulse-and-collisions/additionalreadingmomentum

Chapter 3 Questions, Pt. 2 (pgs. 61, 63, 64, 73-74)

 

 

Happy New Year to everyone! I hope you had a wonderful, relaxing break and are enjoying the cooler, less rainy weather this afternoon. 

 

I know it's difficult to accept the fact the break is, indeed, coming to an end, but alas...I wanted to give you a heads up about our first homework assignment that we will have when we return to school. We will discuss this more tomorrow, of course, but since the assignment is an ONLINE assignment, I wanted to allow you time to make sure everything is squared away on your computers at home! We are going to make an effort to me more ecologically responsible in this class, and part of that will come from minimizing the amount of paper that we use! And if not, or if you are worried that you will have ANY technical difficulties whatsoever, that will leave you two days in which to request a paper copy of the questions! Remember, it is your responsibility to get a paper copy of the assignment if you aren't able to complete it online! NOT HAVING INTERNET ACCESS is NOT an excuse for not completing an assignment! 

 

The assignment is:

 

Watch Free Body Diagram Tutorial, found here: 

 

2. Complete Pages 1-4 in the Newton's Laws Packet (you do not need to do #s 7-9  on Page 4). Additional copies of the packet are available here: https://sites.google.com/a/mcgill-toolen.org/baderm/home/cp2-physics/unit-4-newton-s-laws-and-forces/newtonslawsworksheetpacket1
