Kinematics Review - Answers

Here are the answers for the Kinematics review. Best of luck on the test. **PS: the test will not include the final two formulas provided on friday. Only the formula for average velocity and average acceleration will be needed. These will be provided on your formula sheet.

novermber 23

we continued on doing graphs but today we did a different graph ( yes people not all graphs are the same.....hahahaha...well don't worry i'm not getting this lesson either) anyways so today we did v-t graphs. and you need to review your notes in order to get these. Actually go to the teacher for the sake of arugment :) . and that's your update for november the 23

Class notes, Wednesday 17th

Here are the notes for Wednesday, Nov 17th, a reminder that maps (fully completed and very colorful) will be due on Monday. Please read the instructions carefully and make sure that all required parts are included.

At the beginning of the class, Mr. Vincent gave us a quick review about how to calculate Velocity and distance. He also provided some formulae and examples that could be useful in some ways. Vector requires magnitude and direction while Scalar doesn't. An example of a scalar is speed and an example of a vector is displacement. After that, we did an activity called "Creating a pirate treasure map" where we are asked to make and design our own pirate treasure map using vectors. We didn't able to finish it today so we will continue it tomorrow.

Tuesday, Nov 16th --> class notes

Class notes, tuesday nov 16thHope everyone is adjusting well to having a new teacher in class. Looking forward to spending the next 6 weeks with all of you. Here are the notes from Tuesday's class if you missed anything.

November 12/2010

we did our unit test, hope you all did good WITHOUT CHEATING!! anyway our next unit will be kinametics (hope i spelled that right, and if not ......well screw you physics) which will be taught by our student teacher Mr. Vencelin or Vinclin or Victorm or .......gee i'm not so sure.........but yeah by that teacher. For this unit the best i can say is that you should all be reviewing grade 10 notes on physics cause this unit will contain all of that d=vt or stuff like that....SHUT UP DON'T ASK ME JUST GO OVER YOUR GRADE 10 UNIT ON PHYSICS. well hahahhahah..... anyways i hope we will all be getting along towards our new teacher without having crush on him (that goes espically for mr. leparone). AND THAT'S YOUR UPDATE FOR FIRDAY NOVEMBER THE 12!!!

Today, we went over "Young's Experiment Problems" worksheet.
We used the equation:
Wavelength = xd/L
We also talked about The Photoelectric Effect and the Wave-Particle Duality. According to the book, photoelectric effect is the emitting of electrons when electromagnetic radiation falls on an object. It can be studied through a photocell. Electrons are ejected only if the frequency if the radiation is above a certain minimum of value called the threshold frequency (fo). Albert Einstein studied and explained the photoelectric effect and he describes it as discrete bundles of energy called photons.

Today, we went over the answers for the pink sheet, "Appendix 2.4: Chart for Evaluating the Models of Light" and all the answers from 1-12 in the green booklet, "The Nature of Light: Part 2. The Wave and Particle Models of Light Problems". The answers will be posted by Mrs. K on blogspot.

November 5, 2010

At the beginning of the class, we went over the answers in NOL2 problems #'s 1-12. Mrs. K posted the answers in this blog by the way so if you don't get a chance to copy them, be sure you do! We then watched couple of videos related to Wave Theory.

A new formula was introduced to us and said to be useful:

wavelength = (x)d/L

wherein:
x is the distance between adjacent nodal lines on a screen.
d is the separation between the slits.
L is the perpendicular distance from the slits to the screen.

A worksheet was given to us related to this formula for practice. Be sure to answer it.

Nov. 4 '10 - Wave Theory of Light

Today we went over the Wave Theory of Light. Just like what we did for the Particle Theory, we were to complete a worksheet called Appendix 2.4: Chart for Evaluating the Models of Light; Model: Wave Theory (pink sheet this time :D). It did come to my attention that the theory did not provide explanations for dispersion and the speed of light. Is it just me or is that the case?

Further in the questions book we are supposed to answer 9-12 for homework. We will be going over all questions (1-12) tomorrow!

Wednesday, Nov. 3

Yesterday we went over page 8 to 11, we talked about Determining the Speed of Light.
Ms. K gave us time to work on the the assignment she gave us on Monday "Contributions to the Determination of the Speed of Light", it's due today. She also gave us " The Nature of Light: Part 2
The Wave and particle Models of Light Problems" we are suppose to finish the question for today, but if you didn't we are going to go over it today in class.

November 3, 2010

Today we went over pages 8 to 11 in our NOL2 booklet, and highlighted key points about each person's experiments, observations, and conclusions. Afterward we were given time to complete our worksheet from Monday called "Contribution to the Determination of the Speed of Light". We had access to the internet to search some interesting points about our chosen person's life. If you were not able to complete it today, you still have tomorrow to hand it in.

For homework, we are to do questions 1 to 8 in the NOL2 questions booklet. We will go over the answers tomorrow in class :)

Newton's Corpuscular Theory and Reflection

yesterday's class was pretty much about Newton's Corpuscular Theory, but first thing we had to hand in the four theories( tactile, emission, wave, particles), in which we had to describe who when and what do the theories explain, and draw a diagram for each illustrating how they work.

Then Ms K explained about the Newton's Corpuscular Theory, the theory explains that light has small particles called corpuscles which travel in straight line, good evidence that light travel in straight line is a shadow of a building in sunny day, you will notice a nice smooth straight line along the sides of the wall.

Later we worked on a yellow sheet "Chart for Evaluating the Models of Light" then ms K went over it on the class. Last but not least we were given a homework due Wednesday "Contributions to the Determination of the Speed of Light" in which you have to pick a scientist and fill the boxes

November 1, 2010

I hope everyone had a good halloween and lots of candies without cutting in front of little kids!

So today the first worksheet (from Friday) for The Nature of Light: Part II (The Wave and Particle Models of Light) was due - which required us to summarize the Tactile, Emission, Particle/Corpuscular, and Wave Theory of light as well as to make a diagram for each of them. If you did not get the chance to hand it in, do so as soon as possible. Term 1 ends this Friday, November 5!

Today's lesson went more into detail of Newton's Particle (Corpuscular) Theory of Light. We worked on a sheet titled Appendix 2.4: Chart for Evaluating the Models of Light; Model: Particle Theory. It is a yellow sheet in case you missed the class. You need it to know what the theory states, and also to know what is true about the characteristics of light particles! (I think..)

For homework to be handed in on Wednesday (half day tomorrow, yay!), please be sure to complete the worksheet called "Contribution to the Determination of the Speed of Light". You are to pick one person, and fill in each box on the sheet with the information needed. You can find what you need in the NOL Part 2 booklet, pages 8 to 11. Goodluck!
