Today, we'll look at the history of thoughts about motion since Aristotle. Remember that science is ever changing. We'll learn about Newton's first law - the law of inertia through conceptual examples.
With any time remaining, we'll study for our assessment next class.
Presentation: History of Motion & Newton's Laws (slides 1-8 only)
Homework: Unit 2 Assessment (all multiple choice) including graphical analysis, kinematics, and freefall NEXT CLASS - Monday, September 28th.
If you missed class for some reason, please watch the following video. Also read slides 1-8 only of History of Motion & Newton's Laws presentation which highlights some important vocabulary on slide 8.
Unit 2 Assessment (all multiple choice) including graphical analysis, kinematics, and freefall TODAY!
Homework: ❗Short Newton's First Law Quiz on Friday, October 2nd.
Today, we'll start a big lab for this marking period. We will design an experiment to determine the relationship between force, mass, and motion. We will talk about how we would go about finding the relationship between THREE different variables.
A fan cart experiences a constant net external force. By the end of this lesson, you should be able to describe the motion of a fan cart by looking at the position vs time and velocity vs time graphs of the cart.
Homework: Review your notes on the lab so you are ready to start taking data next class. Also, review the PRELAB INFO below ↓ so you can take data efficiently.❗Short Newton's First Law Quiz on Friday, October 2nd.
PRELAB INFO: Watch the following video for details on how to configure Vernier Graphical Analysis for this lab. Some of this info is also available in this Slides: Vernier Analysis How to & Trouble shooting. Also, see the Vernier Fan Cart Manual for info on the fan settings.
