Today's task is to view the following experimental result video (in its entirety) from the Pivot Interactive experiment on Variables that Affect Center-Seeking Force
No recording today
Tuesday 10/27/20
livestream
discuss circular motion Pivot Lab results with uniform circular motion notes
discuss CV car traveling over circular hill...for homework, students discuss same CV car traveling through circular trough (slide 55...answer all questions!)
students work through prelab video for Rainforest Lab
students direct Mr. Spencer to determine m and also how to measure h
created Graphical Analysis graph of theoretical prediction and experimental prediction...actual data collection tomorrow
Wednesday 10/28/20
livestream
discuss solutions for homework, students discuss same CV car traveling through circular trough (slide 55...answer all questions!)
discussed three additional uniform circular motion examples
finished Rainforest lab data collection and entered experimental values for h to compare with theoretical values...here is a good pdf summary with data tables and graphs
discussed how to write a lab write up
students began their first formal lab write-up
Thursday 10/29/20
eLearning due to hurricane
livestream
review relationships between v,T,f,omega
discussed the gravitron ride at the amusement park.
discussed unbanked curves AND banked curves and circular motion (going too fast, going too slow, going just right)
discussed conical penduladiscussed traditional pendula (and talked about how this type of circular motion was not uniform...including speeding up and slowing down along the circular pathdiscussed examples of non-uniform circular motion
Friday 10/29/20
discuss free response solutions to Unit 2 Exam
discussed conical pendula
discussed traditional pendula (and talked about how this type of circular motion was not uniform...including speeding up and slowing down along the circular path
discussed examples of non-uniform circular motion
Monday 11/2/20
eLearning
students should carefully study solutions to examples of non-uniform circular motion on pp 67-70 of notes. Students are responsible for this information.
