Physics 30 - April 8

Today in class we learned about the law of conservation of energy and how we will use it to solve problems.  It involves understanding how different forms of energy are converted from one form into another.  Students really have to have a good grasp of how kinetic and potential energy interchange.  We took notes from slides 30-36 in the Unit 3 Notes powerpoint and went through examples 13 and 14.  We will finish this lesson with example 15 on Monday and get some time to work on Assignment 3.5.   This will be the last assignment included on the first in class assignment, which is scheduled for next Wednesday, April 13.  It will be on Assignments 3.1-3.5.
