Week 5:  2 October to 6 October 2023

2 October 2023:

In Class:  Newton's First Law:  The Law of Inertia.

Expectations:  Students will be able to predict the motion of objects and identify which object have greater inertia.

Lab 2a:
Finish the Orienteering Lab (graphical vectors) Part b.

Expectations:  Students will solve for the resultant of vectors graphically.

Due:  Pages 1:148-149 ( 102 – 105 ).

Homework:  Pages 1:149-150 (106 – 112).

3 October 2023:

In Class:  Newton's Second Law:

  • a =
  •  Fnet
        m    
  • a = acceleration
    Fnet = net force
    m = mass

    • Expectations:  Students will solve problems using the Newton's 2nd Law equation.

    No Class:  Physics does not meet on Thursday.

    6 October 2023:

    In Class:  Projectiles Fired at an Angle.

  • Ay = A sin θ
    Ax = A cos θ
  • A = Any vector
    Ay = Vertical component of A
    Ax = Horizontal component of A
    θ = Angle from A to horizontal
  • Right triangle

    • Expectations:  Students will resolve a vector into its vertical and horizontal components and solve problems to find range, altitude, and time in the air for projectiles fired at different angles to the ground.
