Circuit Quiz

Rest of class- Circuit Build Day

Next week- Start of circular motion with a special guest!

We are going to be starting our final topic: Circular Motion with help from a UNC professor. 

If you are going to be absent- you will need to get a packet from me in D223

Monday May 15, we will start working our our final project. Circular Motion will show up on the project so next week is vital!

HW for Tuesday May 16- Write a lab report style conclusion that explains the findings of our experiments in class this week. Your conclusion needs to include

• purpose of experiments. Why is it important? Real life applications

• how your experimental data compares to the theoretical( what is supposed to look like)

• explanation of the graphs

• discussion of centripetal force/ universal law of gravitation.

• lingering questions

Recap Circular Motion

• Force responsible? 

Introduce final project

HW

1- Calculating Centripetal Acceleration & g's 

2- Read final project instructions- see link above for instructions 

3- Centripetal force summary- due Thursday

Notes- Physics of Roller Coasters

• intro question

•  G forces- calculating another way

• practice problems for circular motion

Groups have time to work on final projects- instructions

HW- for Thusday's class bring the following

• a rough sketch of your roller coaster- see the checklist on the first page of the instructions for what to include 

• # 1 a-b on the instructions. At the top of the first determine the following

  • the height your are bringing it to

  • calculation of first drop- What is your total energy for the whole system? In order to do this you need to know the height and total mass( 1000 g)

Final Project work. Groups should have done the following by the end of class

Instructions; Samples( for inspiration only)

• rough sketch of roller coaster( where are your hills, valleys, where will be your 2D jump). You will get your sketch approved by Ms. Lewis 

• where you want the following to happen

  • feel weightless

  • what each of the three hills will make the rider feel

  • what each of the two valleys will make the rider feel

  • angle coaster will launch for 2D jump

• Start calculations- see checklist and table for what to start with! Remember that this is a frictionless coaster( that should tell you something about the total energy at EACH point). See pages 5-7 on the instructions 

Project Instructions & Slideshow with examples 

Class time should be spent working on the following for the final project

• calculations( everyone should have a hard copy last week. if not see pages 5-7). You will have to play around with the numbers to make it fit the specifications

• remember that all final information will be placed neatly on the calculations table. 

Finish all calculations & calculation table? Start working on the final drawing. See details # 5-8 for all information needed on the poster

Project Instructions & Slideshow with examples 

Final week to work on class final project. Time should be spent on

• writing the letter to the board

• The final drawing. See details # 5-8 for all information needed on the poster

Make sure to have the following printed for class June 5th

1. Letter to the board

2. Poster

3. Calculations Table
