Physics A Per. 1 (Palos Verdes High School) //pvhs.pvpusd.net/apps/classes/923787/assignments/ Class Name: Physics A Per. 1 Instructor(s): James Warren en-us SchoolSitePro <![CDATA[Due: 01/15/2020]]> //pvhs.pvpusd.net/homeworkItem5323068 //pvhs.pvpusd.net/apps/classes/923787/assignments/ This document could help. Or one just gets it done in class. It's the walk-through of using the 4 raw data pieces in the Ballistic Pendulum to arriving at a conclusion for the initial dart speed.
 
That lab assignment may be handed in anytime before the final exam. It will help a lot for the final exam.

I only tagged this as "Due January 6" so you'd see it and know it's there and start reviewing as soon as possible. Nothing has to be handed in on January 6.
 
This packet lists covered topics and has a lot of practice problems.

If you're in Period 1, working on "Easy, but not as easy first application of PE" before Tuesday 12/17 would be working ahead.
 
I'll be checking and checking for comprehension, and it will be 10 points.
 
Also, in the documents, I tried to always use the symbol PE for potential energy. But in a couple places, it got called U by accident. So if you ever see the document mention a value called U at a certain location, just know that U and PE mean the same thing.
 
The worksheet files were handed out in class AND are attached here.

The school changed the last week before break. The Boat Race is now Tuesday, December 17. That is one day sooner than previously expected.

Due by the end of the week:
Your defended calculation of the coefficient of friction for the taped part of the Air Track Experiment.
 
Safest bet for making sure it's defended and in lab report format is to just fill in the template of the attached Word Document.
 
And, as has been gone over thoroughly in class, the attached spreadsheet is helpful as well. The spreadsheet has Period 2 in the file name, but it covers both Periods 1 and 2.
 
People working ahead can look at the last three columns in the spreadsheet and figure out what those three columns tell a person about Chapter 5.

The attached chart shows how closely each station's theoretical a1 (as told by masses and g) compared to its actual a1 (as told by the distance and time data.) The measurements placed in this table took place on Friday November 22.
 
For the measurements to be approved, the % Diff Column has to be 5.13% or less.
 
Homework due Tuesday 12/3:
Know where the percent different lies (as of November 22) at the station you were assigned to. Know how to come right in first thing on December 3 and remeasure to have a low percent difference. For the two of eight stations that don't have to remeasure, you may work ahead on how to solve for the friction.
 
For the two students who already worked ahead and solved for the friction, you may work ahead and calculate how much heat was made as friction, in Joules. (This is a Chapter 5 thing.)
 
Happy Thanksgiving

Reminder: Nothing New, Newton's Laws Test Thursday November 14 as previously planned
 
UPDATE: I have attached the answer (and some solution steps) to the Warren-Got-Pulled-Over Problem. I call it Tutorial 6. This is for the benefit of the people who worked on the problem on November 12 and now want to check the answer they got. This problem is very good test prep. I know some people worked on it, because it was great to have people like Dylan Cosgrove instruct me that the typical coefficient of friction was 0.9, because he looked it up on his own.

This was a 2-page document handed out in class on Tuesday, November 5. Students were to use it for practice. No one asked yet, but the paper forgot to tell the mass of the glider in the practice problem on Page 1. The mass is needed to answer certain questions.
 
Assume that mass is 200 grams before committing to any answers on Page 1 of that Practice Document. Once you've committed to your own answers, use this attachment to check your answers.
