Finalizing Forces

Well, not really, because they'll haunt us all year like Marley's ghost, but at least that particular section is finally being put to bed.

Introductory Physic reviewed the math associated with forces and the resulting acceleration an object experiences. Tomorrow's quiz will target the quantitative face of Newton's 2^nd law of motion, Newton's law of universal gravitation, calculation of net force, weight and kinematics involving falling objects (and horizontally-moving objects if it relates to other topics). On Monday, we'll start on momentum!

Physics A and B began their unit of work and energy. We put a specific scientific definition to the term work and looked at situations where forces did and not do work on objects. We talked about W_net and how it is calculated for a variety of situations and what it meant for work to be positive or negative. Physics A will start connecting with work in class tomorrow. Physics B will do the same, but with two lab investigations.

Honors Physics enjoyed their Chapter 5 exams and will take on momentum and its conservation starting tomorrow.
