Today, we'll interactively learn all you need to know about free-fall with an interactive lecture. You'll use 🎞️ Vernier Video Analysis to analyze your own free-fall video! Write down three observations from the activity which support your understanding of the motion of an object in free fall.
Presentation: Freefall Presentation
Homework: Study for Quiz on Kinematics Problem Solving next class - Tuesday, September 22nd. (does not include freefall) The quiz will consist of two problems. Please review the format of the quiz which will be repeated for each problem.
If you are still really confused about free fall, please watch my video:
Quiz on Kinematics Problem Solving TODAY!
Today, after the assessment, we'll practice doing more free-fall problems by doing problems from the problem set that you started working on last week.
Homework: Try to finish as many free-fall problems as you can. If you have any trouble, watch the videos below. Upcoming Unit 2 Assessment (all multiple choice) including graphical analysis, kinematics, and freefall on Monday, September 28th.
Optional Extra Practice: Textbook 📖Chapter 2 #46-52 & 55. Do these on Mastering Physics if you'd like to check your answers.
Ignore air resistance for our problems.
Today, we'll have a WIN ("What I Need") period. Please work on whatever you need, and please ask me and your classmates questions. If you don't know what to do, please work on the practice problems for the test. If you have already done all those and need more practice, please look to Mastering Physics.
Homework: Upcoming Unit 2 Assessment (all multiple choice) including graphical analysis, kinematics, and freefall on Monday, September 28th.
