|
Mar.8 |
|
Mar.7 |
|
Mar.6 |
- PhysicsBowl 2003, problems 1-5,10-13,24-26,29,37-38.
|
Mar.5 |
- read the lab handout, extract/measure all the necessary data for our version of the Cavendish experiment; be ready to calculate G
|
Mar.2 |
- complete and hand-in self-evaluations on the Interim Student Evaluation form
|
Feb.29 |
- complete homework for Feb.14
|
Feb.27 |
|
Feb.24 |
|
Feb.22 |
- complete the SHO (mass/spring) data analysis
|
Feb.21 |
- append the new data to the pendulum macro; attempt to make (at least start) a SHO macro
- design a kinematics problems that is difficult (start with an easy one, hide a needed piece of information)
- complete the well solution analytically, program it into the calculator
|
Feb.15 |
- design a kinematics problems that is difficult (start with an easy one, hide a needed piece of information)
- memorize our three trig identities
|
Feb.14 |
- a stone is dropped into a well, a splash is heard 3.2s later. How deep is the well?
|
Feb.13 |
- find an assumption made in a derivation of $$T=2\pi\sqrt{l/g}$$
- understand/modify the physica macro, where do we expect the breakdown of the above assumption to show up? what further experiments we could do to get data in this region?
|
Feb.10 |
- HP35s small manual review (all); large manual: stats and equations
|
Feb.8 |
- use units to derive $$T=T(l,m,g)$$ for a simple pendulum
- propose a method of estimating $$R_{_{\rm Earth}}$$
