Physics 30 Period 2 Block - Oct 27

 Today in class we looked at a specific type of kinematic problem called free fall problems.  Students then had a chance to work on Assignment 1.4.  Afterwards, we then started looking into motion in two dimensions by looking at vectors in more detail.  We discussed how we will describe direction in 2D as well as different types of vector operations that we will be performing.  Students then had a chance to work on Assignment 1.5.  We finished off the class by working through an online lab - Lab 1.1 on vectors.  See the links below for all handouts associated with the work today.  Email me if you have any questions.

Physics 30 Period 2 Block - Oct 23

 Today we continued on by looking at the kinematic equations and applied those under different scenarios.  Students then had a chance to work on assignment 1.2.  After this, we looked at a particularly difficult type of kinematic problem called a chase problem.  The technique for solving these problems was outlined in class and an example was done.  Students then worked on Assignment 1.3 for the remainder of the period.  If you were absent from class today, go to the following links to get the notes for the lessons today and try to work through the assignments.  If you have any questions, please email me.

Physics 30 Period 2 Block - Oct 22

 Welcome to Physics 30!  Today in class we went over the course outline and got started with looking at motion and kinematics.  With this being a 3 hour block of time, you will be getting a lot of information covered in each class in a short amount of time.  Be prepared to work!  If you were away today, I will link the information that we went over today. We were able to get all the way to Assignment 1.1 and students had time to work on it in class.  I will also link the assignments that you can work on.  There is also a link to the Remind 101 group that we will have for the class - please sign up for the group.  If you have questions, please feel free to email me.
