Today will be our last day of kinematics. You will be working collaboratively on problems of your choosing from the textbook or from β Positive Physics. Be sure to get all your questions answered.
Homework: Finish β Positive Physics problems by Tuesday at 10pm. No late credit!
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.
Presentation: History of Motion & Newton's Laws
Homework: Find or make a video that demonstrates Newton's First Law. Creativity counts. Submit the link on βοΈ Google Classroom by 10:00pm on Sunday, October 25th.
Pd 8: β Positive Physics Kinematics Assessment
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.
Then, we'll use ποΈ Vernier Video Analysis to investigate the motion of a fan cart. 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.
Directions: Once you're in ποΈ Vernier Video Analysis, select to open the "Fan Cart" video from Sample Videos. In the settings gear button, change "Advance Frames" to 5 frames. Turn the Trails button on the left to off. Then advance the video to the frame where the fan cart is released, and start taking data there through the end of the video.
Homework: If you have not finished the fan cart video analysis, do that in ποΈ Vernier Video Analysis (access through Classroom). Then fill out the question in βοΈ Google Classroom about the resulting motion of an object that experiences a constant net external force.
