Today, we'll start a new unit by studying vectors in the two-dimensional plane. You will explore the topic with a π€ Gizmos: Vectors, while completing this packet in βοΈ Google Classroom which will guide your exploration.
Homework: Make sure the EL Gizmos - Vectors packet is complete.
Today, we'll practice taking vector components in β Positive Physics. We'll do "work" problems from unit 8: diagonal forces (11 problems total):
free body diagram drawing
trigonometry
Homework: These β Positive Physics problems are due Wednesday, January 6th at 10pm. Only completion score counts, and no late work accepted. Next quiz on Thursday, January 7th β Positive Physics unit 7: systems.
Quiz on β Positive Physics (systems).
Today, we'll look at "static equilibrium" problems - where the forces are balanced. In these problems, we'll look at making Ξ£Fx=0 and Ξ£Fy=0, but some of the forces will be at angles. We'll look at an example that I call a "Y-tension problem."
Homework: If you have any questions about the Y-tension problem, you can review the problem below:
