Here is an alternative link to  a downloadable PDF for the Problem Set</>
This is paramount to your success. If you can not find time to do this you really do not want to be in Physics B. I can. Not stress this enough. It is like working out for you to reap any benefit you must push yourself as hard as possible. It will be difficult at times but that's when you know it's working!
You may and should discuss questions you have here on the blog. Be sure to include the question # and the issue you are having.

Assignment details.

  • All problems should be done in a composition notebook with the first 5 pages left blank for T.O.C.
  • Each entry work date should be note with start and end times with your name in the upper right hand corner---->. First initial and last name is acceptable.
  • Answers are to be recorded on google form.
  • You Should be devoting  a minimum of 2 hours a week to this or 5 problems a day.   If you work for 2 hrs and get all the problems done Great.

  2. Sorry Noah. There will be a link to a FORM where you can input your answers to the questions.

  3. I can't see any of the images on my computer or on my phone. Will this prevent me from answering any of the problems?

    1. Using Mozilla Firefox version 21. I will try to make the files and code as friendly as possible but my default browser is Firefox.

  4. Are we supposed to just complete this or blog about it also?

  5. Blog about it if you have questions or see that someone else has questions. It' never hurts to do a little blogging.

  6. Are there going to be multiple sets of questions like this, or will this be it for the summer?

  7. would you like this to be done in our notebook? and if so should we right out the questions and show work or should we just right the answers?

      I suggest writing out the answers, Kara. That way, when school comes around, you'll be able to recall how you got your answer to each problem.

  8. is the link to the form on google for our answers to be recorded posted?

  9. What does question 17 say?

    I also can't see any images.
    I'm using Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox 22.

  10. I can't see any images either, so I have to skip a lot of them. I don't know what I can do but I'll do everything else

    ReplyDelete
  11. is there anyone besides me that can see the images?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Also if you are having an issue you need to post your browser/OS versions. Read the blog the info is currently being viewed using Firefox on a c not an iPhone mobile device...

  13. I'm using Firefox, not sure what version so it might be pretty old. I can't get the pictures here or on my tablet using google chrome. I also can't see what question 17 says.

  15. Both Internet Explorer and Firefox on my computer do not show any images. I just installed Firefox a few weeks ago, so that should be up to date. Im not really sure about Internet Explorer though.

  16. Here is a link to a PDF. You must have adobe acrobat reader or equivalent installed.

  17. For 40, I don't understand what to do and for 61 there isn't any sort of parabolic curve and so I don't know how to calculate its acceleration. It's like it has sudden changes in velocity but the acceleration isn't a constant in any segment so I put zero but that worries me because it does change velocity so wouldn't it have to accelerate at some point?

    1. Jon- I just came on to ask about 40 too because I did not think there was enough information but if you click on the link Mr. Crane just posted it has a picture for the problem, that I didn't see before, that gives the times which then makes it easily solvable with the equation d=(1/2)at^2, and make sure you have all the same units. That helped me, hope it works for you too!

    2. Thsnks Mare! I had seen the picture I just didn't understand it but thanks!

  18. How do you do #30 without guess and check? Is there a formula that you can use?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Since both time and the final position are the same for both of them, you know P naught of both, and each of their accelerations, and V naught=0 for both, you can use the formula t=Square Root((2*delta P)/(a)) and since t=t, get:

      Square Root((2*delta P)/(a))=Square Root((2*delta P)/(a))
      [Sir George] [Sir Alfred]

      After that you plug in the numbers and solve for the final position (the same for both so there is only one variable in the equation). Watch the negatives because they matter.

      Remember the positions, accelerations, etc. are relative to Sir George.

      Also:
      delta P=Change in P=Pf-Pnaught

  19. In #35, is the starting velocity supposed to be assumed as 0?

    ReplyDelete
  20. No. You need to draw a picture. It should have 2 parts. The key is that what ever its doing at the end of part one is what it is doing at the beginning of part 2.

  21. Does anybody know how to turn this in?

  23. I'm not sure if this is just my computer or if this is the same for everybody but I can't seem to find any links to turn this assignment in. I'm hoping it wasn't posted yet but could someone please help?

    1. I believe you are correct, there do not seem to be any submit links on the blog. Maybe it's just both of our computers, but I doubt it.

  24. Can anybody offer any help for number 12?
    i found that it takes 2/3 of a second for the wall to travel the 2 meters of the width of the window, but i can't figure out how long it would take for the wall to travel the .9 meters of the height of the window? and when you find that number the answer is just the higher of the two, correct?
