QUIZ!
LAB portion! This is 50% of your test grade. Yes, it is for accuracy.
TEST on Unit 3 (If you are absent for the lab part of the test your grade will be based solely on the paper portion.)
Written portion of Unit 3 Test
PosPhysics 7.3 - due Oct 30 at 11:59 pm
PosPhysics 7.5 - due Nov 2 at 11:59 pm.
Nov 12
PosPhysics 7.8 - due Nov 3 at 11:59 pm
Finish worksheet…This will be a homework grade.

I will be out all day on Monday.
Pulley & Atwood Machine practice worksheet
(Solutions are on Google Drive. Use them to CHECK your work. Not to copy.)
Start here: oPhysics
change the angle to 90 degrees.
Check “Show Numerical Values”.
Set Coefficient of Friction to zero.
RUN
Use the height and time data to find acceleration. Verify your answer with the given.
Sum the external forces. Use the mass of M1 and acceleration to solve for M2. Verify your answer with the given.
Once you are satisfied that you understand, proceed to physicsaviary.
Record the height of the unknown mass (in meters!).
Click the unknown mass and record the time it takes to fall.
Use kinematics to solve for acceleration.
Sum the Forces and use the known mass & calculated acceleration to determie the unknown mass.
Enter the values and see if you are correct!
Your lab-test will be very similar. You will be given a stopwatch, meterstick, known mass, unknown mass, string and pulley set-up. You will be determining the unknown mass by performing 5 trials and averaging your answers.
