HW Wednesday, 9-19
E, G, and A periods (D, you'll have this tomorrow)
Wormhole Worksheet (on the back of the distance and velocity time graphs)
Make sure to read the description or else it won't make any sense. The acceleration is constant (in fact, we will never deal with changing accelerations in this class).
If you need another copy of the worksheet, or want to go through the graphing lesson again, head to Its Learning. Both are in the Linear Motion folder.

HW Tuesday, 9-18
All Classes:
Choose 6 practice problems from the 29 problems on pg 661-662. Spread them out so you get a feel for the types of problems you could see on a test:
Choose 6 practice problems from the 29 problems on pg 661-662. Spread them out so you get a feel for the types of problems you could see on a test:
- 2 from the beginning
- 2 from the middle
- 2 from the end
Feel free to check your answers with the key in class. If you don't feel confident about these, ask for help and try some more. PhysicsClassroom.com also offers more practice problems with guided solutions.
Use KUESS to show your whole thought process!

KUESS = Show your work!
Always always always always always show your work. :-)
Parents - this is a great way to help our students through some problems. Simply ask them the questions that follow the steps above. Any problem throughout the entire year can be broken down into these steps. Even on easy problems it is always good to practice this approach, so when you get to the harder problems, you're able to break it down.
Problems like these are graded out of 4 points, one for each part with the K/U combined.
- "Mr. J, do we have to use KUESS and show our work?"
- "What are KUESS?" you ask. Allow me to explain:
Known
|
What does the
problem tell you? What are you given?
|
Unknown
|
What are you
asked to find?
|
Equation
|
What equation
relates your knowns to your unknowns? Sometimes this part might include
an Explanation of the logic behind your work.
|
Substitute
|
Plug your knowns
into your equation. Here is all that mathy stuff.
|
Solve
|
Solve for your unknown and include units. Put a box around your final solution so it
is easy to find.
