Thermal Energy
and non-Conservative Forces
Videos:
Watch any or all of these videos to help you understand the concept.
Here's a video I made on Thermal Energy and the work done by friction.
Here's a video I made that explains what a conservative force is, and some examples of non-conservative forces.
New Variable Fact Sheet:
This sheet will provide you with a quick reference. Refer to it if you are struggling or forget the definition of something.
Concept Questions: Day 1
Here are some of the conceptual questions we will go over in class.
Webassign: Day 1
Do the Webassign "Thermal Energy and non-cons forces" for homework. If you get stuck on a problem ask yourself these questions before you give up or ask for help.
During the next class period, you will have to take a quiz on "Thermal Energy and non-cons forces".
Warning: All work shown on your Webassign quiz in class must be impeccable and include a diagram (labeled force diagram if forces are involved), all units shown at every step, and all steps neatly shown descending downwards. Any problem without all of these will receive a zero. Also, when you finish the quiz I will be asking you about why you did what you did, and if you don't convince me that you understand, then that problem will receive a zero.

Create your own problem: Day 2
Create and solve your own interesting, solvable, challenging physics problem on "Thermal Energy and non-Conservative forces". Particularly good problems can receive extra credit.
Include an image (jpeg or png) that you created with your problem. (The image should not include any numbers, only letters to denote distances, forces, etc.)
Within this shared google document, paste your physics problem with the image you created under the category "Thermal Energy and non-Conservative forces". Put your name at the very beginning of the problem.
