Physics 30 - April 24

Welcome back from the break everyone!  I hope you are ready to finish of the rest of the semester and your high school career!!  I know....exciting and scary all at the same time.

Today we reviewed the end of unit 3 which we finished before the break.  This was about collisions and particularly 2D collisions.  Students were to work on Assignments 3.7 and 3.8 over the break and we took up questions from those assignments today.  After which we got started on Unit 4 which is on gravitational motion.  We first will begin by looking at how gravity effects motion close to the surface of the Earth and then move beyond the Earth.  This starts with looking at projectile motion at the Earth's surface.  We took some notes today and looked at some examples of this motion.  We will continue this tomorrow.

Reminder that this week we have 2 major assessments.  On Wednesday, you will have your 2nd in-class assignment for Unit 3.  This one will be on momentum and cover assignments 3.6-3.8.  Then on Friday we will be having the Unit 3 Exam.  Study the review questions that were posted at the end of the notes for Unit 3.
