Week 5: Energy diagrams, Universal Gravity, 2-D kinematics
Day 1: 2D mechanics (no trig).
Thanks for your feedback on Thursday. Please see summary and my response on the main class website.
Before class
- Do PS #4, on main website – First Question is Revision of MT#1 (answers and comments are posted on main website)
- It is a good idea to read through the problem set before seeing the videos so you know where the information is to lead you. It is also a good idea to review parts of the videos if you need to check on something while doing the problem set.
- See the video on 2D work
- See video on 2D momentum transfer
- This video is due for Tuesday, but if you can, see it now on estimating vector components
In Class
- Hand in PS #4
- Talk about projects – Project proposal due by midnight Saturday, Oct 24.
After Class
Day 2: (Inclined Plane)
Before class
- See this video on estimating vector components
- See this video about the mass on the inclined plane
- See this video of work on an inclined plane.
In Class
- Start PS #5 (posted on main webpage)
After Class
Day 3: (statics)
Before class
- See video on Slack Lining (Statics). Do this after you’ve read through the problem set questions. Can you answer the question 3?
- See video on solution for 2D inelastic collision.
- See updated and final copy of PS#5
In Class:
Big Exam #4
After Class
Day 4: (Universal Gravity) This will be revised until class on Wednesday.
Before class
- See video on Universal Gravity and Inverse Square Law
- Veritassium music gravity video
- From Textbook: Read the first half of section 6.5, up to (but not including) example 6.6
- See updated and final copy of PS#5
After Class
Please see updated problem set including today’s class work.
