November 8/9
Projectile Lab report Due Ch 3 Vector and Projectiles exam. (1st test of 2nd quarter) Begin to outline Ch 4 Forces and Newton's Laws.

November 13
Day2: Review Projectile problem solving procedure and homework assignments. Complete a 45 test 2nd half of class. Outline Ch 4 Forces and Newton's Laws.

November 14
Objective: Define Newton's 3 laws and explain examples of each of the three laws. Why: Thorough understanding of Newton's laws and its application is the foundation of physics applications in virtually all fields of engineering, science and day to day activities. How: Various demo, tug of war, egg experiment, hoop, experiment, seat belt.

Write a 1 page +/- typed summary of Newton's three laws, including what you learned in class and your own unique example of each of the three laws. This is to be in the form of a 5 paragraph essay and should include any references you used. Due November 20.

November 20/21
Newton's Law Essay Due.

What: Draw Free Body diagrams and determine the net force acting on an object and an objects acceleration. Why: Develop an recognition that a net force causes a change in state of motion and what causes the object to change. Apply the vector nature of forces to determine the net forces. How: Draw diagrams of various situations. Use component method of analysis.

Thanksgiving Break: Nov 22 & 23 Have a great Break! Homework over the break: Complete the above if not done. Enjoy your family and friends, Take a short break and be ready to learn when you return.

November 26/27

Please get caught up from the performance absences. What: know that we have a conceptual understanding of Newton's 3 laws, how do we apply them. Determine the forces acting on objects that are in equilibrium to determine the internal forces on components. Why: What size string should you use to hang a picture? How much sag should you place int he cable? Why do power lines sag? How: Solve a variety of problems that are in static equilibrium and non-equilibrium condition. Draw free body diagrams for ramps and cables at diagonals. Use vector components to evaluate. Elevator ride.

p 105 #11-20.

November 28/29 (November 26-27 continued) What: Elevators and Drill ramp and Atwood Machine analysis. How: Demonstrate Atwood machine. Review p 105 questions
 * 1) 21-27 odd

**November 30/Dec 3**
Quiz on Newton's law application

Apply Newton's laws to Atwood Machines and Signs, and ramps. Practice Problems: p106 #21-27 odd 20-28 even

At this point you should understand and be able to apply Newton's 3 laws to general linear motion problems, ramps, Atwood machines, and signs. Expect a quiz next class on a couple of the above problem types.
 * Also I will be checking some of the homework including: **
 * Concept questions #1-13 **
 * Problems p 104+ #1-10, 11-20 and 21-27 odd. **

December 4/5
Friction applications and problem solving continued.

Define and determine the Coefficient of Friction and calculate its value in a number of situations. Define static and kinetic coefficients. Use Labquest and Force probes to determine the coefficient of friction between wood and the table or sandpaper. Does mass have an effect on the coefficient?
