Week 2:  11 September to 15 September 2023

11 September 2023:

In Class:  Acceleration:

  • a =
  •  Δv
      t   
  • a = acceleration
    Δ = change
    v = velocity or speed
    t = time

    • Expectations:  Students will solve problems using the acceleration equation.

    Lab:  Watch the Veritasium YouTube:  Why Gravity is NOT a Force.

    Expectations:  Students will be able to state the difference between Newtonian and relativity theories of gravity.

    Due:  Page 1:135 questions (1 – 7).

    Homework:  Page 1:135-6 questions (8 – 13).

    12 September 2023:

    In Class:  Distance and displacement, interpreting d vs. t and v vs. t graphs:

    Expectations:  Students will differentiate between and be able to solve distance and displacement problems.

    Begin interpretation of distance vs. time graphs.

    Due:  Page 1:135-6 questions (8 – 13).

    Homework:  Page 1:136-7 questions (14 – 30).
