Phresman the 12 Graphs of Physics

Here is a link to the Kongi Paper with the six graph blocks
http://media.konigi.com/tools/graphpaper/pdf/konigi-storyboard-gray.pdf
Pencast of Solutions
Period 7 discussion
Describe each motion. Think about the starting conditions and ending conditions for each motion
i.e. position & Velocity---> mathematically

Graph the following

On the first day of physics....
Graph an elf sitting in a tree

2nd Day of Physics
Graph an Elf ice skating

3rd Day of Physics
An elf skating backwards (Forward is the positive Direction)

4th Day of physics...
An elf on the roof dropping an iPad from rest (down is negative & ground is zero)

5th day of physics...
A physics elf driving in remote control car moving forward at constant speed and suddenly throwing it in then throwing it backward and reaching constant speed.

6th Day of Physics
A plate of stale physics cookies that have been thrown in the air and the crash on the ground... Be mindful of your starting and ending positions...

7th Day of Physics
An elf on a pogo stick....

8th Day of Physics...
An elf playing with a yo-yo, graph the yo-yo not the elf!,,


9th day of Physics...
A physics elf skydiving from a hot air balloon then pulling his parachute and safely returning to the ground.

10th day of physics...
A day off!

11th Day of physics...
A basketball released from the bottom of mainlands pool.
Be sure to label the top and bottom of the pool.

Not as easy as pie

Mr. Crane, so for our final graph you just want us to plot our Period
and square roots of Lengths?
Yes
Do you want us to draw the BLOF or the lines leading up to the x and y axis?
Yes

AP Physics B Ch.4 Problems Sets

Place Questions about problems here.
  • be sure to include the number of the problem,
  • State the problem the unknowns and knowns.   Create a link to a picture.
  •  This will provide outside of the classroom to provide help  and allow others including myself to plan and prepare discussions for class. (differentiated instruction)
I have provided a link to what we worked on in class.
Asteroid and Space Tug
Ex.
  •        2 objects are tied together an pull on one another in deep space.  
  •      They both accelerate toward one another
    •  but because they are different masses they accelerate at different rates
  • where do the meet?  what is their final position?
  • How long does it take for this to occur
Picture 
Application of Idea
Solution:
Bulleted list of steps for solving or some other representation or link for explaining the solution.


Period 9 GRAPHICAL ANALYSIS SUMMARY

Ok.  We have had the discussion.  Generated graphs and equations.  Interpreted slopes and intercepts.
Now you need to summarize and look for the key concepts.
Use this  review.


  •  Please list them here to receive blog points. 
  • Ask questions= Blog Points
  • Answer Question = Blog points

Tracker APPB

Link for tracker is posted on twitter:
AP and anyone else interested in some extra credit.
Due Monday
Write steps on how to use tracker:
Objective:
  1. Import a video of a simple exhibiting simple motion.
  2. use tracker to autotrack the potion of the object
    1. create a graph of this in tracker
  3. email me the graph by Monday

APPB:FBD:
  • Copy all diagrams into your notebook. 
  • Draw the FBD for all situations.
  • Discuss on the blog.
  • Also I crated a Google+ Hangout link on the assignment so you can work together by use of a microphone or webcam

Graphical Analysis using Excel


  • Do not have excel?

    • There are some subtle differences between open office and excel but the translate very well.

  • Graph your data from easy as Pie compare that to your hand graph.
    • all the rules for graphing still apply but now must be typed...

Phresman Last Week Q1

We have one more quest this MP.
It will include the Scientific Method-Related vocabulary
Powers of 10
Scientific Notation
Significant Figures Precision and accuracy

Monday, October 22, 2012

Easy as pie

Measure 10 circular objects circumference and diameter.
Measure is the key word. Use the objects I showed you in the pretzel container...

Phreshman Physics Project

Some of have emailed me directly, but you can post thoughts here.

AP PhysicsB: Running Lab & Test

What are the key ideas.
What equations would model the event?
What would the graph look like for
Position/velocity/Acceleration

Upcoming Test. Question

How do I prepare for the test?
  • Make a list of things that. 
    • for example words/vocab 
    •  Group them together determine similarities and difference most importantly relationships. 
      • Why are these words important in our pursuit of science.
      •  Can you use the word properly in a sentence? 
      • Can you give examples to help illustrate the word or how the meaning of the word is different from other terms
  • Can you apply and descibe how the ideas.
    • Just giving an answer is worth only about 10% (if it is correct)
    • The process and clear communication of the process is worth 90% (even if it is in correct)
  • Practice:
    • Choose any to rolls from petals and analyze them (ignore all previous conclusions and observations about the rules)
      • be clear about similarities and difference ect.
      • what can you deduce/infer
      • make a statement about what can be determined from the observations.

Things that?

Is a virus alive? Use your powers of observation and organization to determine. "Things that?".
Hint: determine the characteristics of living things by making observations. Then look at the characteristics of a virus and decide wether it meats your criteria for living things.

AP:hydroponics

Determine the maximum number of plants that can be supported in a hydroponics system. Given the parameters from class.
Density of foam- 100kg/m^3
Mass of plants-.5kg
Volume of foam- .012m^3
Radius of opening in foam for plant r- .08m
Key to solution.
Draw a picture
Create a fbd
Write an equation For sum of forces interms of the number of plants
Set sum = 0
Solve for # of plants
You should include at minimum the step listed above. A nice picture with some color would be awesome.
Oh and state the objective first!

Mid Term Review

http://www.nysedregents.org/physics/
This is an excellent source of review questions for the Midterm. The types of questions listed under the January Exams are similar to the 100 mc questions on your exam. Do as many questions as you can. If you have question, post it hear hopefully someone can help. Be sure to post the year and question #.
