4/8 Physics update and homework due 4/15

Hi folks,

Today in physics we got spent more time with waves and got the chance to really see the relationships between velocity, frequency and amplitude of a wave.

For homework this week:

Navigate to this page http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/waves and read each of the sections indicated below.

Do all the questions on each one of the pages.


Use Slinky Lab Interactive to do the .pdf that accompanies the activity.

This may work better on some browsers than on others.  I find it works quite well with Google Chrome.  Does not seem to work with FireFox.


Vibrational Motion

Properties of Periodic Motion

Waves and wavelike motion

What is a wave?

Categories of Waves

Anatomy of a Wave

Frequency and Period of a Wave

Energy Transport and Amplitude of a Wave

Speed of a Wave

The Wave Equation

4/29 Physics update and homework due 5/6

Hi folks, Today we took a bit of a deeper look into light and began our unit on optics.  We will do more with optics next week. For homework this week…I've changed my mind.  :) Remember that extra credit assignment I was talking about in class, well let's make it homework with extra credit possibilities.   Here's the scoop.  Take a look at this article by Randal Monroe from his What If blog.    https://what-if.xkcd.com/3/   You'll see how he uses different physics concepts and applies them to real world things even though the situation is fictional.  (Unless somewhere out there Yoda really is hanging out on some swamp planet…it's possible.)   Now you do it.  Pick any book, movie, comic or video game and apply some of the things we've learned this year.  I've included one of my ex-students papers for example.  It's very good be sure to take a look. For homework, Apply at least 5 different physics concepts to the situation. ...

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a great summer.  I've been enjoying catching up on some reading and doing some much needed house/yardwork. Most of you are may already aware of the following free class but I'd like to invite you all personally.  If anyone would like to hang out with us next Saturday afternoon and enjoy a really fun class, we'd love to see you.  Also, please bring a friend!  Do you know anyone who might be interested in taking a fantastic English, Math, History or Science class?  If so, bring them along (or forward them this email….or both)!   Last but not least, we'd really appreciate it if you would take the time to pass this down any group lists of Facebook groups you may be on.  Here's the link to the website.   http://www.caerusacademy.com/free-july-mini-class.html Thanks again everyone.  Hope to see you next week!
