Week 10:  7 November to 11 November 2022

7 November 2022:

In Class:  Springs and Hooke's Law:

  • Fs = kx
  • Fs = force on a spring
    k = spring constant
    x = change in spring length from the equilibrium position

    • Expectations:  Students will be able to solve spring constant problems.

    Lab 15:
    Data collection and analysis of Hooke's Law Lab.

    Expectations:  Students will be able to solve spring constant problems.

    Due:  Pages 2:51-53 (26 – 31).

    Homework:  Pages 2:53-55 (32 – 43).

    8 November 2022:

    No Class:  Professional Development Day.

    9 November 2022:

    In Class:  Springs and Potential Energy:

  • PEs = ½kx2
  • PEs = potential energy stored in a spring
    k = spring constant
    x = change in spring length from the equilibrium position

    • Expectations:  Students will be able to solve spring potential energy problems.

    Due:  Pages 2:53-55 (32 – 43).

    Homework:  Pages 2:55-56 (44 – 52).
