Physics 30 - Dec 2

Hello everyone.  Sorry for my extended absence from posting but I was sick on the weekend and wasn't able to work on Monday.  We had a substitute teacher on Monday but we continued on with gravitational circular motion yesterday and looking at the motion of planets.  We derived a couple of equations and went through a couple of examples that utilized those equations.  These were examples 6 and 7 in your notes covered on slides 19-22. Assignment 4.2 was given at the end of the class.

Today we went through Assignment 4.2 and then did lab 4.2.  This lab was all about using circular motion to calculate the mass of an object.  Students collected data today and tomorrow we will look at how to analyze that data.  If you were absent today, there is some sample data in the Unit 4 folder.
