🔴 1: T 10/13 ladder lab (3)
We'll test and evaluate your ladder models. Do you think this is a good strategy to ensure safety?
Homework: Finish the Ladder Lab. Record a video reflection of the Ladder Lab in 🔄 Flipgrid. Make sure you've finished all the problems in Hard Torque Problems. Make sure that even though we don't have synchronous class tomorrow, there are two videos I'd like for you to watch by Thursday.

🟡 3: T 10/13a intro to integrals
Today, for those who haven't completed a calculus course yet, we'll talk about the basics of derivatives and integrals, and see how this would help us with kinematics problems. You'll be grouped heterogeneously in small groups to learn about derivatives and integrals are. We'll look particularly at velocity vs. time graphs.

🟥 1: W 10/14 PSAT (asynchronous)
Today is an asynchronous lesson because of PSATs. I will still be on our normal Zoom call at the normal time for optional office hours for anyone interested.
If you have already taken a calculus course, you can try to do some of the problems in the post for Th 10/15b.
Otherwise, please do problems of your choosing from Chapter 12 in Halliday at this time. Look for problems that have interesting diagrams that you think will be a challenge for you. I encourage you to connect with each other virtually if you prefer to work collaboratively.
Homework: Watch tipping videos below:
🟨 3: T 10/13b kinematics with calculus
🟨 3: T 10/13b kinematics with calculus
For those students who have already taken calculus, you'll be working the following Chapter 2 problems and non-uniform acceleration worksheet. (The answer to #1 is incorrect on the website; it should be 1/3 m.)
For those who have already completed one year of calculus and beyond:
Required: Ch 2 #17, 22, 81, 82, 86, Worksheet #1-3
Enrichment: Worksheet #4 and AP problem on back - 2010M3, #104, 119
For those taking calculus for the first time this year:
Required: Ch 2 #15, 16, 17, 22, 81, 82, Worksheet #1-2
Enrichmant: Ch 2 #86
**** There's an error in the answer for Worksheet #1 - it should be 1/3.
If there is remaining time, you can watch the video below and start problems from the next post.
Homework: If you haven't taken calculus yet, really try to make sense of the time derivative and integral stuff that you learned today. Re-watch the following video on how to solve kinematics problems with calculus. Or read about it in Chapter 2 of your textbook.
Also, watch make sure you've watched the tipping videos which were previously assigned:
❤️❗ 1: Th 10/15a, 💛 3: Th 10/15 tipping
❤️❗ 1: Th 10/15a, 💛 3: Th 10/15 tipping
We'll start today's class with our quiz on static equilibrium problems.
Then, we'll talk about tipping problems from Chapter 12 in the textbook. You'll learn how to determine if an object will tip. For tipping problems, you need to really THINK about the situation as you're drawing your free body diagram. You also need to think about the best choice of fulcrum. Finally, using line of action usually helps.
Required: Giancoli #38, Halliday #25+, 35, 41, 56 (not really a tipping problem)
For #25, also find the force required if the force is applied at the very top of the wheel.
Homework: Finish any of the above problems.

Homework: If you have issues understanding how calculus applies to kinematics, rewatch some videos from the past week or read the textbook Chapter 2. Make sure you've done required problems at least. Watch the video below on rotational kinematic variables. Take notes while you watch! Understanding these concepts are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT in being successful in the rest of this unit, so take the time to rewind and rewatch as needed. (When Mr. Fullerton derives centripetal acceleration in minute 13, he talks about unit vectors. "I-hat" is a unit vector magnitude 1 in the x direction. "J-hat" is a unit vector magnitude 1 in the y direction. Unit vectors are really just multipliers which turn scalar magnitudes into vectors with direction.)

We'll start with our quiz on static equilibrium.
Then, with any time remaining, we'll work on finishing any problems that we have not yet gotten to this week.
