HP Cycle 2

🟢 8: Th 9/11 - position vs time graphs

Today, we'll start class by reviewing some of the things you learned last class, and we'll talk about notation in formulas.

Then, we'll together look at position vs. time graphs.   We will look at the position vs. time graphs you created in lab last time to learn about features of position vs. time graphs.  We will apply these understandings to a new graph and formally explore features.  

Review Presentation:  Intro to Kinematics

New Presentation:  Ostrich & Cheetah Presentation

Handout:  Ostrich & Cheetah WS, Graphic Analysis of Motion WS 

Homework:  Complete the first page ONLY of Graphic Analysis of Motion WS (position vs. time) by next class - Friday.  ANSWER KEY.  

🟩 8: F 9/12 - velocity vs time graphs 

Today, we'll learn how to read velocity vs. time graphs (Cheetah) together by completing the Ostrich & Cheetah Presentation.  With any time remaining, you'll continue to work collaboratively on the rest of of Graphic Analysis of Motion WS.

Handouts:  Ostrich & Cheetah WS, Graphic Analysis of Motion WS 

Homework: Complete the second page of Graphic Analysis of Motion WS (velocity vs. time) by next class - Monday.  Also complete the graphs at the bottom of both back and front.  ANSWER KEY.  

Recommended Additional Practice Problems:  Ch 2 #3, 4, 8, 18, 24, 19, 25, 20, 22, 36 (answer in Mastering Physics so you can see if you're right)

💚 8: M 9/15 - velocity vs. time graphs continued

Today, we'll start by answering any questions you have about Graphic Analysis of Motion WS.  ANSWER KEY.  We'll review features of position vs. time graphs and velocity vs. time graphs in general, and you may ask questions if you have any.  I will go over special aspects, especially about J-K-L and also H-I-J.  We'll talk about some advanced concepts like how to find instantaneous velocity and acceleration when the graph is curved.  We'll generate a list of phrases we can use to describe the motion given a graph.
