23-Hon Physics - Pd 4 Assignments

This Log needs to be updated daily during the balsa bridge project. You need to begin with your practice truss and initial design and then include daily progress updates. If you are absent from class for a day, note it, but then describe what your partner did. 


You need to include photos of your progress at least once every 2 days but may include more if you like.


The deadline of 5/17 is not flexible. We need to begin work on the park packet and senior grades are due soon after.

Work though and complete the attached lab document. Submit you finished work product.

Submit clear pics of your completed work by the due date.

Open and complete the attached document. You will have to pay close attention to the instructions so that you can accurately complete the lab.

Notes:
Pay close attention to the instructions. You need to create some custom-calculated columns in the data chart. It's not difficult IF you follow the instructions.

You need to find a time just before and after the ball is in your hands (use the velocity graph). It is probably best to pick data points a few samples away from that... (so that you are sure the ball is really in the air - it should lead to more consistent results)

If you take multiple trials to get a good data set... make sure you scroll to the right in the data chart and use the correct data - it shows even the bad trials... unless you delete the bad trials.

You probably should delete all the bad and unused trials as they will probably slow down your Chromebook.

Complete this reading assignment for sections 3.1 and 3.2. We will use it to introduce Vectors.

The usual... post pics of the completed homework.

Video clips might help if you need them. The only caveat is that both videos use "W" for weight. Our book uses "Fg".

Use the attached Google Sheet to work through the Inertial Balance Lab. The goal is to make a calibration curve for a simple inertial balance and then use the same balance to obtain the mass of two random objects.

Be certain that you record the number of your inertial balance. You will need the exact same inertial balance on day 2.

Complete this reading assignment for sections 4.1 and 4.2 before class on the due date. We will use it to introduce Newton's First Law.

Work through the Google Doc to complete the simulation of projectiles launched at angles.
You should be looking for general trends and relationships between angles, velocity, time, and range.

The link is posted below, but is also in the doc.

This is a multi-day homework assignment involving horizontally launched projectiles. It is due on 10/7. There will be opportunities to ask some questions in class on either 10/6 or 10/7

A hard-copy was provided in class, but there is also a PDF copy attached to this post. Please do not open the PDF as a google doc and type on it. If you wish to work on the digital copy, use an app such as Kami to edit it.

To submit your finished HW, take a picture of each page (your name MUST be at the top) and attach them to this before submitting (I prefer if you submit it as a pdf, but images work too)

There are example videos linked below as well.

Complete the attached reading assignment for section 3.3. It will introduce you to the concepts of projectile motion.

In this lab, we will learn a new technique (video analysis) to analyze motion. You will track the motion of coffee filters as they fall in pre-recorded video clips to determine their terminal velocity.


You may work alone or with one partner, but no more. If you work with someone, you each must analyze separate trials and denote who did which trial in the lab. (Share the lab doc with your partner and you both can edit it.)

The needed video clips are posted separately as a "material" in classroom.


Technology note:
The software we are using is Logger Pro. It a more versatile version of graphical analysis, but it does not run on Chromebooks. In class, we are using laptops with it pre-installed. If you want/need to complete this lab at home, you will have to download and install Logger Pro on a computer. Links for the software are posted at the top of the classwork page near the textbook.


The Logger Pro button icons in the lab instructions have been changed a bit in the most recent update. They are only minor changes and I think you should be able to figure them out.

Work on the attached problems. I've also attached the answers so you know if your are correct (not the full solutions).

As always, attach pics and turn in by the deadline

Submit pics of your complete homework by the due date.

This lab is for Tuesday and Wednesday (9/20 & 9/21). You will use a motion sensor to explore the free fall motion of a ball tossed up into the air.


Open the attached document and follow the instructions to complete the lab.

Submit clear pics of your completed work by the deadline (BOTH sides)


There will be some class work time at the end of Tuesday. We will field questions on Thursday.

This activity is intended to be done in class on Friday 9/9 after the quiz. It is not due until Monday 9/12 so we can address any issues that arise on Monday. Very little class time will be dedicated to it on Monday. Do your best to finish it on Friday.


The purpose of this activity is to help connect what you have learned about motion graphs with the new kinematic equations.


Work through the attached document answering all items. There are two embedded links to simple simulations that you need to use.

Use Ch 2 of your textbook to complete this brief reading assignment. (We will do this together in class)

You have one attempt at this quiz, which is very similar to the practice quiz (which has unlimited attempts). Please complete by the deadline.

Open the attached google document and use it to complete the lab activity.

Work through the attached homework on Motion Graphs. Be sure to turn it in once you are finished.

If you don't finish in class and need a little additional help outside of class, check out the attached video. It is a bit long, but is very thorough. Skip around to the parts you need.

Use the textbook to complete this short reading assignment.

Open the following document and use it to complete the lab activity.

You will need your Chromebook and a motion detector.

While you may have another student's help in triggering the data collection, you need to have your own unique version of the lab.

Be sure you take all your data in class. If you are unable to submit by the end of class Tuesday, you will need to complete any questions outside of class and submit.

Use Chapter 2 of the text to complete this reading assignment that will begin to introduce 1-dimensional motion.

The Google document should have a yellow field whenever you need to respond.

This reading assignment is due at the beginning of your class on 8/26 as we will be reviewing the content.
