Welcome to SPH3U1 and SPH4C1!!!! February 2020

Hello all,

I am hoping to have an engaging and fun semester with you where we can all grow in our understanding of the Universe!

Here are some initial tasks and documents which will be useful as we progress.

Course Outlines:

SPH3U1

SPH4C1

Physics Handbook
_______________________________________________________________________
Task 1: Sign up for Classroom: 

z2npo3l

________________________________________________________________________
Task 2: Safety Overview and Contract


  1.  safety slides
  2. safety contract
________________________________________________________________________
Task 3: Creation of your personalized Physics Booklet

  1.  Take approx. 30 lined sheets (no more), a front cover and a back cover and staple your lab booklet together. 
  2. FOR HOMEWORK Complete your cover page and include: name, course code + Physics Booklet, and draw an image(s) about something that interests you in the realm of physics. 
________________________________________________________________________
Task 4: Working With Numbers

Numbers need to be measured!!! measuring devices or sensors have specific characteristics that need to be considered in the context of the numerical values they produce. Here is the content that will allow us to deal with those measured values in a uniform and appropriate manner.

Scientific notation review: useful for representing very large values and very small values. It is also helpful to display the correct number of significant digits or figures as will be discussed later.

3)  Accuracy and precision:

4) Table measurement and class discussion:

Each table group will be given a different measuring device and must measure the length of their table as well as they can. Students can use what ever units they want but they are not to use any other materials as a reference of length.

Record values on the white board and discuss as a group the significance of each value and whether any groups were misleading with their recorded value. 

5) Significant figures:

Exam Review SPH3U/SPH4C

Hello all,

Here is some material to help you study for the exam. It is not completely exhaustive and should be used in conjunction with review and consolidation of your notes, review and retaking of term assessments. Good luck!

Textbook Answer key

Dynamics/Forces:______________________________________

1) create your table for free body diagrams for all important moments (transitional between types of motion) for a bungee jumper. See this video as reference.  (turn sounds down.....)

Crazy!!!!!! 

The bridge we talked about in class.

2) seatbelts

4) This is a piece of physics equipment that can be purchased. What purpose does it serve? use Newton's laws to explain.


5) watch this commercial and talk about the physics of pulling out the table cloth without making a mess..

6) how to get the ketchup out!!!
