Conceptual – Monday 1/28 Turn in Line Rider Lab Lab Recap Summative Scott Kelly Recap Line Rider Lab Discuss Conservation of Energy Roller Coaster lab next class! Unit 5 Review: 2/1 Unit 5 Test: 2/5
Academic – Monday 2/4 Turn in Power Formative & Roller Coaster Lab Physics Fun Fact Review Power Formative Work on WET Formative & any outstanding Unit 5 work WET Formative due today --------------------------------------------- Brief Summative on WET: 2/6 Unit 5 Review: 2/6 Unit 5 Test: 2/8
Physics Fun Fact! Thrust is a Force! Measured in Pounds [lbs] or Newtons…
How much Thrust does a Space Shuttle Launch undergo? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnoNITE-CLc
Conceptual – Thursday 1/24 • Pick up Line Rider Lab • Discuss Energy • Complete Lab (60+ Min) Turn in today! • Roller Coaster Lab Next Class!
Semester 2 expectations • Formatives are due the day of the Unit Test • If you are absent for a Summative, you will complete it during the next class. • In-class Formative Folder • HW/Lab completion & Post-Lab Summatives (non-retakable) • May not give notice for these.
Work What is work?
Work • Work: The measure of an energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over some distance by an external force. W = F ∙ d Unit: Joule [ J ]
Power What is Power?
Power • Power: The rate at which work is done. i.e. the amount of Work per unit Time Unit: Watt [ W ] https://www.e-education.psu.edu/egee401/content/p1_p3.html
Potential Energy The storage of energy within an object Gravitational Potential Energy – The energy stored in an object due to its placement in a gravitational field. i.e. Object’s higher off the ground have MORE Potential Energy! [ J ]
Kinetic Energy The energy of motion! This can be calculated for an object with mass, m and velocity, v [ J ]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP7q28wQ2P8 Conservation of Energy Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another.
Types of Energy Potential • Gravitational • Chemical • Elastic • Magnetic • Nuclear Kinetic • Motion • Thermal (Heat) • Sound • Radiant (Light) • Electrical https://www.solarschools.net/knowledge-bank/energy/types
Power Formative • A 1,500 kg stock car is racing down the race track at 75 m/s. The driver accelerates the car to a velocity of 90 m/s in 3.2s to avoid getting passed. • How much Power is needed to accelerate the car? • Calculate how much horsepower the car has
Work-Energy Theorem (WET) The WET introduces a relationship between Work and Energy. Remember, both are measured in Joules [ J ] Revisit the previous Power Formative problem and solve it using this method
