Lesson 4.2 - Universal Gravitation

 Lesson 4.2 - Universal Gravitation

In this lesson, we look at Newton's understanding about how gravity worked.  We start out by looking at how Newton got to that point by looking at Kepler's Laws of Planetary motion.  Don't worry about those though.  We will not be applying them to anything, we just need to know them.  We then look at Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation and how it applies in various scenarios.  You finish off the lesson by applying universal gravitation to planetary motion to show how we can predict the motion of planets and celestial objects using universal gravitation. When you are done going through the examples, you can work on Assignment 4.2.

Physics 30 Afternoon Block - Unit 3

 You are to begin Unit 3 at home over the next couple of days. Print off the notes for unit 3, located here. I have narrated the first couple of lessons in Unit 3 and recorded myself solving the examples in the notes.  I will link the powerpoint here.  I recommend that you download the powerpoint and play it from powerpoint.  Do not simply preview it from the google drive folder. The narrations might not play properly then.  Here is what you need to finish and what slides to go through.  This is for both groups, alpha and omega.

Friday, May 7

        Lesson 3.1 - Work - slides 1-12 - Assignment 3.1

        Lesson 3.2 - Power - slides 13-20 - Assignment 3.2

Monday, May 10

        Lesson 3.3 - Kinetic Energy - slides 21-32 - Assignment 3.3

        Lesson 3.4 - Potential Energy - slides 33-40 - Assignment 3.4

As well, the alpha group - make sure to prepare for your Unit 1 Exam on Tuesday, May 11. Good luck with your finals and if you have any questions about physics, make sure to email me.

Physics 30 Afternoon Block - Welcome to the Course!

Welcome to Physics 30!    A couple of links to note:

Remind 101 - https://www.remind.com/join/phys30pm - sign up for this so I can message you of things happening with the class.

Class website - https://knievelphysicshch.blogspot.com/ - this is where I post information about the class as well as all the material for the course.  Answer keys to all assignments are found in the class notes link on the right hand side of the page

Physics 30 Cyber Hybrid - https://cyber.gscs.ca/ - you should be registered in a Physics 30 cyber hybrid course if you login to cyber school.  While I won’t be using this directly in the course, we might have to fall back on it if things go south. It is also another resource to use to help you with the course.

Physics 30 Class notes -  this is also found on the right hand side of the website.  All relevant handouts and notes will be found in this link.  You will need to print off and bring the notes at the beginning of every unit.  I will let you know when this occurs beforehand.    

Physics 30 Morning Block Schedule

 I have worked out the course for the remaining time we have together in the morning block.  I will link schedule here - Physics 30 Morning Block Schedule. Have a look at it and mark the important dates in the calendar. Information is going to happen on a quicker pace in the course and you will be given more work to do on the days when you are at home.  I will be posting links to those assignments on the website.  Make sure to keep up to date with all the assignments.  Assessments will be happening almost every day you are in class.  Make sure you are ready for them.
