Homework

Does momentum really conserve?

Lab.

I will be out on the 20th. I know that Block 4 can handle a substitute and a lab at the same time!

OLYMPICS!! (Robotics STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT)

Feb 24/25

Feb 26/27

I will be out these two days for personal reasons.

Watch this video about momentum and collisions in 2D. TAKE NOTES

Positive Physics 14.9 - I recommend that you watch the video first. Due Sunday March 1 at 11pm.

Finish notes & practice

The notes file is too large to save here - they are on Google Drive.

If you have questions - this is your last chance to ask! Solutions to HW3 are on google drive.

Test - you can take the test on Tuesday/Wednesday or Thursday/Friday.

Impulse & Momentum HW Worksheet 2 - problems 1 & 4 only: due next class

PosPhysics 14.6 and 14.8. Due Feb 24 (or 25) at 8am.

TEST coming up March 3 & 4. I am going to be out several days in the coming 2 weeks. I will try to respond to email. As always, you are welcome to come by at lunch/break to ask questions.

NEW TEST DATE!!!
