1. Read the text: CH 2 in your text, sections 2-5 and 2-6 and go over the examples carefully. Until now you have been assigned very little reading from the text. It is critical that you now begin to put what you have done in the lab and the discussion into a coherent framework. Motion is described verbally, in graphs and by mathematical equations, and you need to connect these three representations of motion.
2. Go over the conceptual questions at the end of the chapter and make sure you understand and can answer them. You do not need to turn those in for grading.
3. Do problems 5, 11, 14, 20, 22, 24 and 31. Use the problem solving template for these problems. I will discuss their use in class. Don't leave these until the day they are to be turned in as they will need a little thought.
4. From Lab manual do "Homework for Unit 5: Mathematical Description of Motion".
Any questions you have on either of these can be discussed on Monday or Wednesday in class.
REMINDER: Due Wednesday September 13th
The Measurement Contest.
EITHER: Measure the height, from ground level, of the NE corner of Smith Hall (don't include the elevator shaft sitting on the roof). Remember this is an indirect measurement so don't make any direct measurements on the building itself. You have been given a handout for this activity in class and I will be glad answer any questions you may have. Any equipment you need for measurement you can get from me of the lab tech. The reports will be graded Friday September 15th.
OR
In case you you don't care for the first assignment, estimate the volume flow of water in the Ohio River at Huntington. There will be no hints given with this assignment.
