Practice For Energy Test

Hello all,

Attached are textbook pages that will help with review for the Energy test. Try the practice problems below the sample problems as well as the end of section questions.

The test will have the following sections:

approx 5 multiple choice questions
1-2 communication questions (explain why speeding is very dangerous and not advisable. etc.)
2-3 application questions (diver, simple bungee, block sliding down a ramp, roller coaster, etc)

Answers are here

Model Rocket Constraints and Criteria

Here they are!!! have fun.

Intro to CAD slideshow

Hello all,

Here is the link to Mr. Arnold's into to CAD slideshow.

Conservation of mechanical energy - Bungee jump and roller coaster

Hello all,

At your table groups finalize your bungee jump variables and confirm a safe ride!!!
Variables required are: total height to the ground, unstretched length of bungee cord, spring constant of the bungee cord, mass of rider (or a range of mass that is ok).

• Maximum acceleration of no more than 2.5g (24.5 m/s^2)
• not smashing into the ground.......

Make sure every group member has a summary in their own lab booklets

Once completed here are some resources and practice problems for energy.

Energy Audit Project Report

Hello all,

We have had the energy audit project running in the background for some a while and it is time to wrap things up. I will push the due date to next Monday but expect a nicely polished report to review. Here are some guidelines for the report writing process.

Reports need to have proper formatting including the following:

1. Title and abstract/introduction (a short intro that provides the rational and content of the report)
2. Headings and subheadings 
3. Clearly listing sources of information and rational for any assumptions/approximation made
4. Lab formatting rules apply (graphs, figures, appendix, calculations, etc.)
5. Attractiveness and professionalism (font size, images, captions/labels, location of text vs. figures, page breaks, colour, etc.)  
6. use equation editor for sample calculations or do by hand. 

Here is a link to a similar report that you may use as a guideline for formatting.

Projectile motion playing and practice

Hello All,

We will do an example or two today in class then it is up to you to practice and solidify your understanding.

You can play with this interactive simulation. Try and see what angle gives you the largest X displacement.

Try this one and state what conditions need to me met so that the target (toy monkey) is hit.

you can practice with the TURD game!!!
