3/9 AP: Practice with angular speed and acceleration
Friday’s post includes the translational concepts we have studied, as well as the rotational equivalents. If you were absent, be sure to check this page. Today Read and takes notes on Section 7.1; pages 189-192. Turn in your notes for credit.Work on all odd-numbered problems on page 218-219, numbers 1-13.…Read More
3/6 AP: Introduction to angular motion
In our next unit we will be studying rotational motion. So far, the motion we have been studying is translational–where object move from one place to another. In rotational motion, things go around in circles, but the system doesn’t move from one place to another. Comparing translational and rotational motion.…Read More

2/25 AP: Energy test review
Today we will be looking at the energy unit test, then continuing to work on momentum and collisions. Momentum test on Friday.
2/21 AP: Identifying models in problem solving
Evaluating problems to determine models used. Read problems 46-55. Working in trios, you will be assigned one problem. For each problem: Draw sketch(s) and add labels for any information given. Your sketch will usually need a ‘before instant of collision’ sketch as well as and an ‘after instant of collision’…Read More
2/20 AP: 1D collision wrap-up
Here are the solutions to the homework problems, so you can check your work: #19: v f golf ball = 0.65 m/s #20: (a) v f rifle = 0.49 m/s; (b) v f man & rifle = 0.020 m/s #21: (a) v f girl = 1.15 m/s; (b) v f…Read More
