2018 HS Physics CH

Hi folks, I accidentally sent you the homework for both of my physics classes.  Please just do the .pdf with all the problems. Best, Jim Mueller (919) 907-3217

Hi folks, Whatever was wrong with Whitfield road has been repaired.  Everything is back to normal.  (At least as far as that goes.  :)   ) Best, Jim Mueller (919) 907-3217

Hi folks, Today we spent time diving into the concepts of motion, speed and velocity.  We also did a lab where the students had to find the speed of a dart shot out of a Nerf gun.  For homework this week, please do all the questions on the enclosed .pdf.  I've included a second .pdf with the answers so be sure to check your answers.  There will be a quiz on this material next week so be sure you feel comfortable with these problems. Good luck, Jim Mueller (919) 9073217

Hi folks, Today we began our study on linear motion. We took a look at how all motion is relative and we introduced some vocabulary for motion, speed, distance, displacement, velocity and acceleration.  Read 10 - 16 and 21-23 in your Conceptual Physics text Do Review Questions on pg 25 #'s 1- 14 For Extra Credit do any one of the 3 activities on pg. 26 Best, Jim Mueller (919) 907-3217

Hi folks, Just a heads up for everyone. Whitfield road has a long-term closure due to Florence. It goes from 86 to Turkey Farm Road. You can get in from Erwin Road or Sunrise Road east of the school.  I think you can also get in from the north if you take 86 to Mt. Sanai to Turkey Farm.  (You may need to go past a road closed sign that way.  I had to do that on Monday.)

Just thought you might be interested in seeing what happened to the road.  Apparently the road collapsed!

I'm sorry everyone! I'm sitting here on Whitfield rd and it's closed!!!! I had to figure out how to use my phone as a hot spot to email everyone. Tried to find out info earlier on this and couldn't. Very sorry for the late notice!!!! Be safe all, Jim (919) 907 3217

Hi folks, From what I'm hearing, it sounds like the roads should be passable for class tomorrow. Please let me know if, for some reason, you can't make it and please be safe. I record all my classes so if you can't be there you can always watch the recording. I hope everyone was nice, safe and comfortable through these past few days. Best, Jim Mueller (919) 907 3217

Hi folks, Well, we're heading into the unknown here and with that in mind I figured I'd put a little plan together regarding classes for next week.   My plan is to email folks to let them know if class is a go or not.  However, my big worry at the moment for my location is loss of power/internet.  So, if you don't hear from me, assume class is OFF .   Please don't hesitate to contact me to let me know if you won't be able to make it to class for any reason.  If most folks can't make it to class we may cancel class due to lack of attendance.   My phone # is (919) 907-3217 if you wish to text or call for information about class.  Assuming my phone is still operational and has power I will get back to you ASAP. Here's hoping this email is for not and all will be well for all of us next week! My best wishes for safety and comfort for everyone next week! Jim Mueller

Hi folks, Each day after class, I will be sending and email with a short description of what we did in class as well as the homework that is due next week. This week we spent some time going over class expectations and the grading procedures. We also spent a bit of time discussing why science is necessary and how it is done. Homework for next week is: Read pages 1 - 7 In the Conceptual Physics text Do Review Questions 1 - 10 on page 8 Do Think and Explain questions 1 - 3 on page 8 By the way, my email address list failed me so, parents, if you wouldn't mind, could you please pass on this information to your children. Thank you! Best, Jim Mueller
