Exam Prep Tuesday

Honors Physics, Physics F and G worked on review for their Chapter 6 exam, which is scheduled for Thursday. Be able to work with momentum and momentum change of single objects, the impulse-momentum theorem and conservation of momentum and kinetic energy for a system. On Friday, we change gears somewhat and begin our unit on circular motion. Honors Physics will engage in a lab investigation that allows students to explore factors affecting the centripetal force acting on an object in circular motion and how aspects of translational motion can be used to calculate centripetal force and acceleration.

Physical Science B reviewed their self-created fluids problems. Thanks to Haley, Courtney and Cara for volunteering to put their problems on the board and walk through the solutions with the class. Tonight, add on a problem for hydraulics devices, to make sure that you can evaluate those systems, as well. On Thursday, students will conduct a lab investigation centering on Archimedes Principle and buoyant forces. There will also be time allotted to address any questions prior to Friday’s exam.

Physical Science E discussed Bernoulli’s Principle and everyday examples of Bernoulli’s Principle in action. We analyzed flight, smoke rising in a chimney, perfume atomizer function and kite flying in terms of Bernoulli’s Principle and did a couple of demonstrations, to boot. On Thursday, review time for Friday’s exam. Come prepared with questions so that we can address them as a class.
