Problems Set On Calendar

You should be able to set up all the problems but are not expected to solve any past #24.
That means Picture/Unknowns/Knowns
The Equation for most of the problems will be F=ma 
In addition to the problems complete the WS Free Body Diagrams Revisited
Sample Problem & Notes

Forces

F=MA
After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. State Newton's three laws of motion and give examples that illustrate each law.
2. Explain what is meant by the term net force.
3. Use the methods of vector algebra to determine the net force acting on an object.
4. Define each of the following terms: mass, inertia, weight and distinguish between mass and weight.
5. Identify the SI units for force, mass, and acceleration.
6. Draw an accurate free body diagram locating each of the forces acting on an object or a system of objects.
7. Use free body diagrams and Newton's laws of motion to solve word problems.

Range equation

Develop a range equation in terms of the variables angle,height,initial launch velocity and gravity.
Case 1: object shot from the ground to the ground
Case 2: object shot from a cliff to the ground
Note: these are really the same equation, But the first is a simplified version and should be easier to figure out and understand.
SHOW ALL WORK.

If you complete this and get bored try to solve the equation for the angle.  Do not start from scratch just use some algebra to rearrange the equation you already have.

Want to Work for the FBI?

Have you ever seen the movie "Shooter"?
This problem can give you an idea to narrow the possibility and parameters of an investigative search.
Want 10 Free test Points?
Complete the problem below with all work shown on a SPOP w/ NDPS
SPOP- Separate Piece of Paper
  • Remember identify the critical points in the diagram (Put labels of unknowns in the digram)
    • In case you missed label the bajesus out of your diagram (See above)
  • Write down key/critical quantities (Like the hunter in the monkey)
  • Try to solve for those first
    • Why this is more difficult...  you may have to solve for several key piece of information first

ssm 3.43 From the top of a tall building, a gun is fired. The bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 340 m/s, parallel to the drawing shows, the bullet puts a hole in a window of another building and hits the wall that faces the window. Using the data in the drawing, determine the distances D and H, which locate the point where the gun was fired. Assume that the bullet does not slow down as it passes through the window.

What are the key ideas and questions from the force table lab?

Post any ideas discussed or developed in lab or the post lab discussion.  If they are posted here you will not have to submit them on paper.

Important

Please update your wileyplus from your scientist name to your actual name some of you done this already.  If you could do this by M.

So for Monday
Pop quest on seep rate piece of paper
Change Name

Sample Solution Ch.2 Problem Set

AP Problem Sets
To me this is the hardest problem so lets look at it...
Kinematics Problem 8 Solution
brought to you by Livescribe


It Does not Matter where you start but where you end up!

  • Yes this is hard.  This is a college level course.
  • I understand.
  • You need to come and talk to me if you are having issues "communicate" (ABC's)
    • Those who have already have shown a marked improvement
  • I am currently failing.  Science= Failure
    • In order to truly learn anything there is a cost!
    • Are you willing to Pay
      • click link above if the answer is yes read on if not seek guidance
    • If you are learning how is that a failure?
  • We have 5 weeks left until the end of the MP and opportunity.
GOOD RESOURCE

Vectors

Objectives

After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. Represent the magnitude and direction of a vector using a protractor and ruler.
2. Multiply or divide a vector quantity by a scalar quantity.
3. Use the methods of graphical analysis to determine the magnitude and direction of the vector resultant in problems involving vector addition or subtraction of two or more vector quantities. The graphical methods to be used are the parallelogram method and the tip to tail method.
4. Use the trigonometric component method to resolve a vector components in the x and y directions.
5. Use the trigonometric component method to determine the vector resultant in problems involving vector addition or subtraction of two or more vector quantities.
6. Use the kinematics equations of Chapter Two along with the vector component method of Chapter Three to solve problems involving two dimensional motion of projectiles.
