Today, we'll finish out the unit by taking a look at the "modified Atwood machine" and apply what we know about two-body systems to this very similar pulley problem. With time remaining, we'll work on relevant problem solving in preparation for our upcoming assessment.
Homework: Study for assessment of all of Newton's Laws in 1-D on Wednesday, November 12th (last assessment in 1st marking period).

If you missed class or need a refresher, please watch this video on the modified Atwood machine. Remember that the tensions on both vertical and horizontal strings are the same only if you have an "ideal pulley," which is a massless pulley on a frictionless axel.
Today, we'll work together to practice for the assessment by doing any problems that have not been completed and additional practice problems. Additionally, you will be able to review past assessments.
