Week 3:  20 September to 24 September 2021

20 September 2021:

In Class:  Free Fall, Thrown Balls, and Free Fall Graphs.

Expectations:  Students will be able to solve for distance, average speed, and final speed in free fall problems.

Due:  Page 1:137-9 questions (31 – 44).

Homework:  Pages 1:139-140 ( 45 – 52 ).  Study for Quiz on Section 1-1 tomorrow.

21 September 2021:

In Class:  Quiz on Unit 1 Section 1 (pages 1:1 to 1:17).

22 September 2021:

In Class:  Calculating Initial and Final Velocity, Acceleration, Time, and Distance.

  • vf = vi + at
  • vf = final velocity or speed
    vi = initial velocity or speed
    a = acceleration
    t = time
  • d = vi t + ½ at 2
  • d = displacement or distance
    vi = initial velocity or speed
    t = time
    a = acceleration

    • Expectations:  Students will be able to solve for initial and final speed, acceleration, time, and distance.

    Due:  Pages 1:139-140 ( 45 – 52 ).

    Homework:  Pages 1:140-142 ( 53 – 64 ).

    23 September 2021:

    No Class:  Physics does not meet on Thursday.

    24 September 2021:

    In Class:  Solving for initial and final velocity directly from acceleration and distance

  • vf 2 = vi 2 + 2ad
  • vf = final velocity or speed
    vi = initial velocity or speed
    a = acceleration
    d = displacement or distance

    • Expectations:  Students will be able to solve for initial and final speed directly from acceleration and distance.

    Lab 1b:
    Collect data and review the Graphing with Spreadsheets Part b lab.

    Expectations:  Students will identify the order of polynomial functions using a spreadsheet.

    Due:  Pages 1:140-142 ( 53 – 64 ).

    Homework:  Page 1:142 ( 65 – 69 ).

    Note:  1st quarter ends 12 November 2021.
