MOP quiz help

MOP Quizzes
Tonight we'd like to be finished with 4 of the MOP quizzes: 1, 2, 3, and 6.  That said, if you keep getting stuck, take the time, go back and re-learn some of the material.  Don't keep spinning you wheels!  I'm not going to count it late, just don't let them all pile up before the test (mid-December).
Some things that might help:

• Use 9.8 m/s/s instead of 10 on NL6 mass vs. weight
• Tutorials on PhysicsClassroom.com
• YouTube Playlist: Newton's Laws
• Chapter 4 in our textbook
• Balanced/Unbalanced worksheet, the key is posted on google classroom
• Try it with a friend!  Get help from other people!  Facetime is a thing, so is skype, so is google hangouts, so is actually hanging out.  Throw a MOP party.  (Make that a thing. That would be awesome.)  

The point is, you don't have to struggle with this in isolation!  Learning takes time, it takes trial and error, its messy, but rewarding in the end.  Learn it, try it, fix it, learn it, try it, fix it, repeat!
You can do this!

Technical Difficulties?
Your browser may ask for permission to run Adobe Shockwave and that's okay, or it may say you need to update it.  If it asks, you can "allow" or "run this time" etc.  Click the link above if you'd like to make sure you have the latest version.  You are always welcome to use the computers in my room before or after school, or during study if you need to.

Balanced & Unbalanced Forces

All classes:

1. Balanced & Unbalanced forces worksheet - (if you didn't finish in class)
2. Lab Analysis Form - the first version had a few issues with it, so please take this one again.
• D period
• E period
• F period
3. Ch 4 Plug 'n' Chugs 21-25 - on Its Learning --> N1 Inertia --> Assignments
• 3 chances to get it right, so fix it and take it again!
• It grades and gives you feedback automatically, but it is sensitive
• If you answer is less than one, put a zero in front of the decimal ( 0.6 kg )
• Put a space between the number and the unit  (350 N)
• use 10 m/s/s as the acceleration due to gravity

I'll start saving and posting notes HERE, which is linked from the About section of the classroom and the links page on the blog (coming soon).

HW: Mass & Weight Lab Analysis

E period
Complete the lab analysis Qs in this form.<-- E period only
We'll finish working with the data on Monday.  Make sure you and your partner have shred it.

D & F periods
Lab analysis form <-- use this link if you're in D or F periods

HW - Lab Analysis Form

D & F periods
Complete the FORM LOCATED HERE
Graph your data by hand (if you haven't already) and estimate the slope of the line.

Have you made yours yet?  If not, what have you been doing for the past month!!!

Test Thursday, Reflections due Wednesday

Test Thursday!

What's on it?

• Vector Addition
• Vectors & Scalars - know what they are, examples, and how to draw them
• Use the vertical and horizontal component vectors to find a resultant
• Use the resultant and an angle to find the horizontal and vertical components
• Velocity ( Vx, Vy, & V )- horizontal and vertical components
• What is the acceleration of a projectile at any time during flight?
• Describe how the vertical and horizontal velocities change during flight.
• Predict the horizontal and vertical velocity of a projectile at any time during its flight given the initial horizontal and vertical velocities
• Distances (Range-Dx & Height-Dy)
• Use the height and acceleration to predict the time in air.
• Predict the horizontal distance traveled by a projectile given its velocity or vice-versa

How should I study?

• Chapter 3 in the textbook.
• Concepts: concept summary at end of chapter, review questions, think n explains
• Problem Solving: plug n chugs, think n solves, practice problems at the back of the book (pg 665)
• Get a study buddy and quiz each other.
• Video Playlist - The first four videos on this playlist were created by Paul G Hewitt, the author of your textbook, and he explains things well.
