Lab, day 2: Thermodynamic Cycles
|
Tuesday, Apr. 4
|
Work day--work on lab (questions for evaluation of the 4-process cycle, especially, due Wednesday)
Also: Textbook, read pages 559-564 (thermodynamic processes) and work on questions 4, 5, and 6 on pages 589-590 (end of chapter questions). whatever you can get done for these questions is due on Thursday. You may not be able to complete them yet, but I want you to try all of them. |
Wednesday,
Apr. 5 |
Notes and Demos: Adiabatic processes--expansion and compressions
|
Thursday, Apr. 6
|
Notes: 1st law of Thermodynamics; practice problems in class
Talk about questions 4, 5, and 6 that were worked on for today. |

Intro to chapter 6: circular motion
Relay race reflection sheet--please put this in your journal. If you were absent today, please wait to fill this out until you have a chance to run the course. Start notes on circular motion concepts Permission slip/behavior contract passed out to those of you attending the Silverwood field trip. Please read, sign, and return before you lose it. :) If you did not pick one up, let me know in class--no worries. Plenty of time to get them turned in. |

Lab Day--2 labs, but we're going to alternate who is doing each over the next 2 days (so today and tomorrow look the same...you have 2 activities to finish before Monday)
Lab A: Hands-on lab-- Determine the relationship between a rotating bar's angular velocity (radians per second) and its tangential velocity (m/s) Lab B: Computer Simulation--Determine the relationship between the radial position (distance from the center of a disk) and the tangential velocity of a ladybug. |
