Learning Goals

Learning goals

•  treating motion in two perpendicular directions at the same time 
• developing consistent techniques for carrying out multiple trials 
• understanding how error influences the experimental mean 
• expressing the variability of data using the standard deviation

Learning goals

• performing consistent techniques for carrying out multiple trials
•  predicting motion from simultaneous equations for horizontal and vertical motion
•  organizing and documenting experimental procedures
•  effectively communicating findings

Learning goals

• building intuition about collisions
• understanding conservation of an unalterable physical quantity
• appreciating the importance direction plays in interactions

Learning goals 

• understanding conservation of a physical quantity that can change among multiple forms 
• learning to identify previously unrecognized forms of energy 
• manipulating calculated quantities from measured ones within a spreadsheet

To keep the labs in line with the concepts being covered in the lecture, labs get this week off. No lab or tutorial.

Learning goals

• understanding how linear and angular motion are related
• designing an experimental protocol for determining the moment of inertia from kinematic measurements
