Physics 30 - Dec 4 & 5

Yesterday students learned about potential energy and how to calculate it.  The concept of defining a reference level is important in understanding potential energy.  Students were given Assignment 4.4 to work on but this is to be done at home as we had to move on start looking at conservation of energy.  We continued looking at the law of conservation of energy today by going over a couple of examples.  We did examples 12-15.  We almost finished example 15.  We will finish this on Monday and students will get a chance to work on Assignment 4.5.

On Tuesday next week we will have our first in class assignment for this unit.  It covers Assignments 4.1-4.5.  Even though I didn't assign anything new today in class, students should still be working ahead to get caught up on any assignments that they are behind on.
