November Assignments--IB Physics 1
​2018-19 School Year

Thursday, Nov. 1
Lab:  Uniform Accelerated motion (day 1)
Logger Pro file that you'll need  (right-click, "save link as..." and then open LoggerPro and open the file you just saved)
Work on collecting data today.  This will be a full lab write-up, like the aluminum density lab was earlier this year.  Data tables and initial graph will be due no later than Monday.  We'll be talking about your graphs a little in class on Monday. Final draft of lab will be due Tuesday, November 13--hard copy and uploaded to turnitin.com.

*note: there were a few typos that needed clarifying from the handout you got in class yesterday.  Make sure you've recorded those adjustments or ask questions if you're confused. :)​
Friday, Nov. 2
Lab: Uniform Accelerated motion (day 2)
Monday, Nov. 5
post-lab discussion
Notes and discussion re: kinematic equations

HW reminders: 
  • Lab (formal report, data and analysis) due Tuesday, Nov. 13
  • Mid-term on Friday!  --> all multiple choice, covering material since the beginning of the school year through Wednesday of this week--review topic 1 (OM, Metrics, Uncertainties, Vectors) and the part of topic 2 we've already covered (2.1.1 - 2.1.10)
  • A.S. 2.1.9-2.1.10 due Friday
  • Warm-up packet #2 will be collected on Friday:  9 warm-ups, plus the density of a cube/cylinder, aluminum density data table, motion graphing lab, relative velocity lab, and the Uncertainty DBQ​
Tuesday, Nov. 6
Practice Problems for Kinematic Equations--group practice all period! :)
​We got through 7 of these in class.  There are a few more if you want more practice.
Wednesday,
Nov. 7
Work day on Uniform Accelerated Motion Lab
Thursday, Nov. 8
in-class: work day for lab that's due next Tuesday

Analysis you should be working on (get as far as you  can to help yourself out later this weekend...):
  • Finalizing raw data table
  • Writing statements justifying chosen uncertainties
  • Calculating averages and uncertainties
  • Showing a complete sample calculation for each of those
  • Creating a graph to show the initial relationship between MV and RV
  • Writing a statement telling me what the trend/pattern of your data shows and how you plan to linearize it.
  • Show sample calculation of the linearization
  • Show data table with new values for 2nd graph
  • Create 2nd graph that is linear
  • Put max and min lines on this graph
  • Use graph to determine the acceleration of the cart, and be sure your thought process is clearly understandable
  • Calculate the theoretical acceleration
  • Calculate a percent difference.

Please make sure you have completed the peer evaluation for the G4 project:
​
Here's the link for the peer feedback form:
https://goo.gl/forms/T1M9OH1EZEa1cWU02 
 
  • Sselect the team number they were on and click Next
  • This will take them to a page/section specific to their team
  • On this page, they will select who they are first from the dropdown list
  • Then they provide ratings of 0 to 3 for themselves and their peers in a grid
  • Then they can provide comments in a freeform text field. They can type each person's name, along with why they gave them the rating that they did.
  • Finally they click Submit to finish
