Projectile Motion Assignment - Wednesday, April 16, 2008 *Open the following document - Everything you need is in the document.

[|Projectile Motion.doc]

Assignment - Monday, April 14, 2008 With a partner, you will need to answer the following questions:
 * 1. If you drop an elephant and a feather from the top of the same** **building, which one will hit the ground first?** **__Explain why.__**
 * 2. If you drop an elephant and a feather from the top of the same building and there is no air resistance, which one will hit the ground first? __Explain why.__**
 * To answer these questions you may want to check out these sites: http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/mmedia/newtlaws/efar.html** http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/mmedia/newtlaws/efff.html
 * 3. When you are finished answering these questions, you and your partner will need to find the terminal velocity of a coffee filter back in the lab. You may only use a meter stick and a stop watch. You must do at least three trials. Explain your procedure and include your values**

Acceleration 1. Go to http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/1DKin/U1L1e.html You will follow the lessons links on the left side of the page. 2. Your goal is to answer the questions in the document, [|Questions on Distance,velocity,acceleration.doc] by reading through: Lesson 1 - Acceleration **Lesson 3** - The meaning of slope for a p-t graph **Lesson 4** - All Sections **Lesson 5** - All Sections.

Distance & Displacement 1. Review Distance & Displacement at http://www.glenbrook.k12.il.us/gbssci/phys/Class/1DKin/U1L1c.html be sure to try the example problems and check your answers.

2. Open this document [|Practice with Vectors.doc] Complete these 6 problems on a separate piece of paper. This is a 100% or nothing assignment.

Class Assignment - Reference Frames & Relative Motion == http://www.studyphysics.ca/newnotes/20/unit01_kinematicsdynamics/chp03_kinematics/lesson09.htm
 * 1) Read the basics about Reference Frames & Relative Motion at

2. Open the following document. [|RelativeMotion.doc] You have two choices - You may either type your answers into the document and print when you are finished or you may print the document and fill in your answers with a pencil or pen. You may only print this document **one time.** Visit the Applet found at http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?topic=140


 * If you cannot print - you may e-mail your lab to** klight@clsd.k12.pa.us
