Unit 7: Rotational Motion Physics Aviary

 Physics Aviary is kind of like MOPS, in that every attempt has a similar problem but different numbers.  Your goal is to get a success on each of the assigned problems.  However, unlike MOPS, there is no program that records your success.  To show that you have completed the assignment, you have to take a screenshot of the success screen or a picture of it with your cell phone.  In order to count, your screen shot or picture must include: YOUR name, the name of the problem, and the success note (it will say "Calculations Correct" or "Great.  Your answers were correct" or something similar).  If all three of those are not in the picture, then it doesn't count.  See my example picture above.  It has the name of the problem - "Find Mass with Torque."  It has my name and the phrase "Calculations correct."  One quick note!!!!  Pay attention to the units that the question asks you for.   It might want an answer in grams or centimeters.  The worst thing is when you get a problem all done and completed but then use the wrong units in your answer.  Then, you have to do it all over again with different numbers.   

This website overall is also just a really good study tool.  You can absolutely play around with any of the games, homeworks, labs, etc from any of the units.  This would make some really good review for the AP Physics Exam.  Let me know if you want any recommendations or help with any of the other units.  For this unit, I would recommend the Torque and Center of Mass games.

1.  Go to Physics Aviary            or google "The Physics Aviary" or just click the links below

2.  Click the "AP1" tab in the top row

3.  Scroll all the way down to VIII: Rotational Motion

4.  Complete the following Problems

• Angular Velocity and Acceleration

  • • Jersey Sue Level 1 - it will tell you to do it again, you only have to do it once unless you really really like doing this problem

• Angular KE

  • • Jersey Sure Level 2 - same thing, you only have to do this once

• Torque

  • • Net Torque Level 1

    • Net Torque Level 2

    • Finding Mass from Torque Simple

    • Finding Mass from Torque Hard

    • Finding Mass of Meter Stick Using Torque

• Rotational Equilibrium

  • • Rotational Equilibrium Level 1

    • Rotational Equilibrium Level 2

    • Walk the Planck

That's 10 problems in total.

5.  Once you think you have an answer for a problem, type in YOUR name and your answers.  If you are correct, a success screen will show up saying something like "Great.  Take a screen shot and share this with your instructor."  You NEED to take a screen shot using the computer or take a picture with your phone of the success screen.  Your picture must include the name of the problem at the top, YOUR full name, and the success screen.  If your picture does not have all three parts, it will not be accepted. 

6.  Upload your pictures/screenshots to a Google Folder.   Click on the link below and paste the link to your Google Folder into the Google Form.  Make sure you share you folder with me so that I can view it.  DO NOT email me your link or post it in Google Classroom.  You must paste it into the Google form for points.
