9/14

Objective:  SWBAT review dva graphs and experimentally determine g in room J-208.

Warm Up:  Turn in your Ch 2 problems.  Get out your graphing packet.  Sketch the d vs t, v vs t, and a vs t graphs for your car if you are applying your brakes when approaching a stop sign.

Test Friday on Ch 2.
1-D motion lab due tommorrow.
Flag Pole Lab rewrites due next Monday.

9/13

Objective:  SWBAT solve 1 D motion problems using kinematic equations.

Warm Up:  Get out your graphing packet.  From the graph on the board, determine the displacement of the object after the first 5 seconds.  At what time point(s) is the object stopped?  What is the average acceleration of the object from 6 to 8 seconds?  What is the average acceleration from 6 to 10 seconds?

9/9

Objective:  SWBAT interpret DVA Graphs.

Warm UP:  Pick up the two Graph matching worksheets and staple.  Also pick up the graphing packet. 

A student drives home at 25 m/s then realizes that he left his physics book at school so returns to school at 23 m/s and parks in the same spot as he was in earlier.  What is the students average velocity for this trip?

9/8

Objective:  SWBAT demonstrate their knowledge of conversions, vectors, and the SI system on a test.

Warm Up:  Pick up one scantron.  Get a protractor and ruler.  Geou out your calculator and pencil.  Use the blue side of the scantron.  Subject:  Ch 1 test.

Homework:  Start outlining Ch 2.  Outline due Friday.  Ch 2 Bookwork Due Wed.

9/7

Objective:  SWBAT review for tomorrow's test on Ch 1

Warm Up:  Turn in your Flag Pole Lab.  A student travels in their car using the following velocity vectors:  A point A they begin at 20 m/s at 140o, at point b they change to 25 m/s at 66o and at point C they change to22 m/s at 20o.  At point D they instantaneously stop. 

Draw a diagram of this situation.
Determine the student's average velocity (the resultant) during their travels from point A to point D.


Note: Circumference vs Diameter Lab due tomorrow.
Start outlining Ch 2.  It's due Friday.
