Back to the Grindstone

Intro Physics, Physics D and Honors Physics continued to hone their problem-solving skills in class today. Intro Physics worked on problems dealing with the motion of objects if fluids, Physics D on conservation of momentum and Honors Physics also took on conservation of momentum, albeit at a more evil level, with all sorts of twists and turns thrown in. Tomorrow, Intro Physics moves to Bernoulli's Principle, which addresses fluids in motion and the pressure they experience. Physics D looks at elastic and perfectly inelastic collisions, as will Honors Physics. Exams on Friday for everyone!

Physics F were introduced to the idea of conservation of momentum and its relationship to Newton's Third Law of Motion. We linked impulse and momentum change to the law of conservation of momentum, then began to apply this law to different situations in problem solving. Tomorrow, a lab on the impulse-momentum theorem before turning attention to collisions. You also have an exam on Friday, so make sure to prepare accordingly.
