Daily (almost) homework
The daily assignments are small, but if not done, will quickly accumulate. Most assignments are not graded on correctness, but on effort. WebWork assignments will generate their grades automatically.

 Due date Homework Mar.9 Spring Break homework: select a topic/trick for the final presentations; prepare a script Mar.8 Mar.7 extended from Mar.5 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 extended from Feb.24 Feb.24 read Cavendish torsion balance manual; also useful is the Wikipedia article and the "Physics Leaflet", also by Leybold read sections on torque/moment of inertia in the textbooks 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 $$R_{_{\rm Earth}}$$ Feb.7 email your instructor
