Test Day!

Test day is over!

Well, you've gotten a look at what a typical test looks like and it's not really going to change. Same format each time, so no surprises. If you find you run short of time, it's ok to come back and finish, but always make sure to do it in a very timely fashion. Same goes if you're absent and miss a test. Make it up quickly, since I can't return and discuss the other folks' exams until yours is taken.

Tomorrow, we start with vectors. Some of you have worked with them, others of you haven't. Some of you have worked with basic trig functions (sine, cosine, tangent), others haven't. Not a problem. We'll get everyone up to speed with some good hard grunt work and there will be no complaining! We'll need these skills to be sharp and shiny as we move into 2-dimensional motion and then into our study of every other vector topic we hit this year. C Block has long block tomorrow and we'll start with some basic discussion of vectors, then you will work with a computer simulation to walk you through adding vectors. The rest of you guys will get a more in-depth discussion of vectors and how we can use vectors to explore aspects of physics. Trust me, it won't be too painful...
