Freshman Homework

Here's your homework: 31-34.

Juniors and Seniors Physics

Next class starts with a quiz, so practice with the homework!!!

Here's the homework: 31-34.

Remember Kepler 16b / Tatooine!!! Only 200 light-years away!!!

AP Physics Blog and Resource

I found another great resource for you guys!!! Check out this site!!!

Remember, post to your blog!!!

The Autumnal Equinox is coming on the 23rd!!!

Try the above simulation to see how equinoxes happen. An equinox is the point in the year where daylight and night are equal! Go ahead and test it on the 23rd!

Juniors and Seniors, Your Comments are Up!!!

I loved reading each of your blog posts!!! They were very honest and enlightening!!!

I left comments on everyone's blog. If you want to give me feedback on what I wrote, that would be great!

Physics is a journey that we will be making all year!

Tatooine discovered!!!

Exoplanets are planets that exist outside our solar system. NASA's Kepler project has been investigating the sky for signs of exoplanets. One of the most recent exoplanets to be discovered orbits around a double star!!! Watch this video to find out more!!!

The following simulation will help you play with solar systems and orbits:

Junior / Senior and Freshman Class Blogging Project

This year, we will be blogging about our opinions on physics. In order to read your blogs, we will need you to fill out the following form:


The first post we would like you to post about is the following:
What is physics?
What can physics do?
What can it be used for?
How would kinematics be useful in the real world?
Do you use kinematics outside class?

AP Physics

The homework tonight is to read the marble launcher lab.

Freshman Physics

If you did not do the lab yet, please finish it and hand it in next class.

Your homework is: 33-34.

AP Physics - Projectile Motion

Remember to treat every problem's x and y seperately.

Tonight's homework:

Problems 21 - 27
Free Response 11

Tomorrow, we are going to review projectile motion!!!

View the game below to have some fun with projectile motion!!! Bonus if you're curious, how far away is the center of the target from the cannon? How far away is the statue?

Junior / Senior Physics

Tonight's homework:

The lab if you did not hand it in yet.

Questions 33 and 34.

Any questions? You know who to contact...

AP Physics - Vectors

Tonight's homework:

Questions 28-33.

Try the simulation below to better understand vectors.

Freshman Physics Tuesday

Homework:
Finish the lab, including the conclusion, for homework!!!

Fun for AP Physics!!!

I found this excellent applet for you guys to try once you are on projectile motion. I'm embedding it here:



Enjoy it!!!

Tonight's homework is free response question 2.

Day A Physics Update

I found a great site for you guys to try out. It is called the "1D Kinematics Problem Solver" and it's by Wolfram, the same people who do Wolfram Alpha on the links to the right. Just install the Wolfram CDF player and you're good to go on this site. Try it out! See if it helps!

Homework:

Finish your lab for homework!!!

Here's a fun little game for you all to play until next class (try the graph mode too):

Lab Correction for Freshman and Juniors

The lab you are supposed to read can be found here.

I've corrected the previous link.

AP Physics, Your work from last night and today!!!

Homework:

Do Problems 21 - 24. (Last Nnght.)
Do Free Response Problem #1. Look at the bottom of the page to find it. (Tonight and over the weekend.)

If you need any help over the weekend, email us or text us. Really. You can. We won't get upset.

Junior Physics Thursday and Freshman Friday!!!

Here's the homework:

Problems 10-16 (Click This)

Read the Lab (Click This)

If you have questions, call or text us at (973) 498-8523 or email us!!!

AP Physics

AP Physics, here is your homework:

Do questions 5-20 on the practice problems page.

This will help you practice problems dealing with graphs. Some of the key words we dealt with today:

At Rest = 0 Initial Velocity
Dropped / Released = Acceleration is g. (And what is g? .... 9.8 m/s2!!!)
In Free Fall, the a = 9.8 m/s2. Always.

Once more with feeling... what is g?

9.8 m/s2!!!

And what is it?

Acceleration!!!

And is it constant?

Yes!!! It's always constant!!!

Any questions? (We know you have them...) Email us!!! Text us!!! Call us!!!

Remember the survey and the signed syllabus!!!

Honors Freshman Physics

Welcome to East Side High!!!!

Great first class, everyone!!!

The homework for this class is:

1. Buy a calculator. The best one for this class is the TI-34 Multiview. It seems to retail for around $20. If you want to get a different scientific calculator, that is fine, but all demonstrations and instrunction will be given on the TI-34.
2. Please have your parents or guardians sign the last page of the syllabus and return it to us.
3. Please fill out the online survey that appears on this blog.

If you have any questions, contact us. Really. Don't be shy.

AP Physics Update

Great first class!!! We will be moving at a very fast pace, so it's important that if you have any questions, call us at (973) 498-8523, email us, or text us.

Homework:

• Get a graphing calculator.
• Do the survey on the blog.
• Bring back the last page of the syllabus signed by a parent of guardian.

Some Keywords:

• At Rest - The object has a velocity of zero.
• Constant - The value doesn't change at all.

It's going to be a very fast-paced year, so hang tight!

Great First Class!!!
