Some outdoor time for physics today

Hi folks,

We are going to be spending some time outdoors for physics today so please dress for 50F weather.

See you all soon.

Resending the homework

Hi folks,

Somehow those last two documents weren't .pdfs.  Hopefully these two work.

2/11 Physics Recording - Energy Intro

2/11 Physics update and homework due 2/18

Hi folks,

Today we began our brand new block on energy.  Energy is very strange and abstract so we took some time to get familiar with what it is and how we perceive it.  We will be getting much deeper into this concept in the upcoming weeks.

For homework this week, do the enclosed .pdf.  It is basically a mid-year review.  Next week's quiz will be based on much of the material in this pdf so please take the time to understand this material.  I've included the answers as well.  

Incorrect homework sheet

Hi folks,

I changed the answer sheet from my original but I sent the original set of questions and not the ones that matched the new answers.  These are the questions that match the answers.

Sorry for the confusion folks.  Hopefully now the questions match the answers.

2/4 Physics update and homework due 2/11

Hi folks,

Today we used just about every concept we've learned this year and applied our knowledge to the game of Angry Birds. We discovered the impulse, velocity, momentum and more of the different objects in the Angry Birds world.  It was a very difficult challenge and folks really did a great job.

Here's a great write up of a fellow who did the same kind of a thing we did today.  It's pretty interesting if you want to take a look.  

For homework this week, I'd like you to do the enclosed .pdf.  This is similar to the Angry Birds analysis but I've provided many of the numbers for you.  Look carefully at the measurements I've provided and make sure you use the right times for the right questions.  I've provided the answers as well.  These kinds of questions could well be coming up on a nearby quiz so be sure to get to know them.

Bring cell phone or tablet to physics!

Hi folks,

If you can, bring a cell phone or a tablet to class today.  We are going to be taking a look at the physics of Angry Birds today. 

See you all soon!

Best,

Jim Mueller
