Week 2 is but a memory... Week 3 is speeding in
Updated September 3, 2021
This is your class landing page, you will want to come here every week to check for any class announcements. Week 2 Summary
On Thursday I indicated if you wanted to complete the Skill & Practice 1J - Significant Digits for extra credit points you were welcome to! Time does not permit me to cover with much depth how to manipulate significant digits when adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing. I really don't enforce your use of them in Conceptual Physics, anyway (but will in General Chemistry or Advanced Physics).
We did work on 1I - English Conversions and 1K - Solving Equations with One Variable this week. Please make sure you take the time to understand the content on both of these assignments. Really, most of these concepts should have been covered in Pre-Algebra and Algebra I, but it doesn't hurt to review these. Recollect I encouraged everyone to make sure when setting up problems that you always include the units (grams, meters, liters, joules, Newtons, etc.) in addition to numerical values. In addition to familiarizing ourselves with English and metric units of measurement, we also spent considerable time understanding unit prefixes during Week 1 (see table at right). This Thurs we were only able to barely mention the ideas of position, velocity, and acceleration, which comprises much of Chapter 2 - Describing Motion, which is divided into the following sections:
These terms are all somewhat related, but do have very specific meanings associated with them.
Before you even start watching any of the videos provided, print out the Chapter 2 Worksheets (linked right), so you can answer any questions in the homework while watching the videos. What to expect in Week 2
When you return to class this coming Thurs (after Labor Day), we will work through Skill & Practice 2E - Displacement, 2F - Velocity, and 2G - Acceleration. I would encourage all of you to start working on the homework problems in this chapter and to take advantage of the videos!
