That is all I am going to have to say about gravitation at this point. I will come up with a few practice problems from chapter 11 for you to work on so that you can become more familiar with the material.</p> <p>The next major topic is “Oscillations” which resides in chapter 14 of your textbook. This is an extremely important topic and one that will require us to use the tools we have developed to this point in the course.</p> <p>After we work our way through the ideas associated with oscillations, we will then backtrack to chapter 9 and the ideas associated with rotational motion. We will approach rotational motion by analogy with what we have already seen from translational motion and we will revisit the concept of torque and equilibrium (part of chapter 12).</p> <p>From then until the end of the semester, we will concentrate on fluids and thermodynamics, chapter 13 and chapters 17 through 20 respectively.</p>2009-11-03T14:00:49ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:210072009-11-02T15:36:50Z<i>This item is restricted: please visit the website to view it.</i>2009-11-02T15:38:13ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:20979.updated:2009-11-02 09:38:132009-11-01T13:10:47Z<p>Although the date and time of the final exam has been repeatedly announced and the information written on the board during lecture, a number of students are still asking for this information. Here it is:</p> <p>The final exam will be held on December 22nd from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM</p> <p>The exam must be taken on the date shown above and at the time indicated above. In the event of a conflict with another final exam that is being giving according the University final exam schedule, the student must apply to the physics department for permission to take the final exam during the make-up period. You will be required to fill out a request form and submit it in room 148 of the physics building. This request MUST be submitted no later than 2 full weeks before the exam date. The department will then verify that any conflicting final exam has been officially scheduled by the University and is a conflict due to University scheduling logistics and not due to an exam being moved from its official time/date slot.</p> <p>If permission is granted to take the final exam during the make-up exam period, the make-up exam will be administered on December 23rd from 8 AM to 11 AM.</p>2009-11-01T13:11:57ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:20971.updated:2009-11-01 07:11:572009-10-21T04:48:55Z<ul> <table width="100%" bgcolor="#eeeeee"> <tr valign="top"><td> EQUATION SHEET FOR QUIZ #2<br> <a href="downloads/20830-Equation_sheet_for_quiz_#2.pdf" title="26&nbsp;Kbytes, application/pdf">Equation_sheet_for_quiz_#2.pdf</a> </td><td align="right"> <small><i>posted October 20, 2009 at 11:49pm</i></small> </td></tr> </table> </ul>2009-10-21T04:49:43ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:20829.updated:2009-10-20 23:49:432009-10-21T04:03:47Z<p>Just in case some of you are super ambitious and cannot wait to begin working problems involving work and energy, I have decided to go ahead and post the suggested problems for chapters 6 and 7 now.</p> <p>Chapter 6: 32, 41, 50, 67, 70, 74</p> <p>Chapter 7: 39, 47, 52, 58, 63, 65, 66, 94, 101</p>2009-10-21T04:03:47ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:208252009-10-14T14:15:33Z<p>Regrades for quizzes will be handled as follows. Before submitting your quiz for a regrade, you must study the problem solutions posted on the course web page. If, after doing so, you feel that your quiz was graded incorrectly, you must bring your quiz to me for regrade prior to taking the next quiz. I will then consult with the grader. You should not approach either your TA or the grader regarding having your quiz regarded.</p> <p>Do not submit your quiz for regrade because you feel that the grading was too harsh. As long as the grader is consistent when grading a problem, I will back their grade. Regrades may only be submitted for an actual “error” in grading, e.g., the grader missed something that was obvious in your solution.</p> <p>DO NOT submit a explanation. As stated on the cover sheet of the problem, what appears on the page as your solution must stand on its own. If your presentation of the solution is chaotic and confusing, then it is not an acceptable solution and no points will be awarded.</p> <p>If, after the grader has reviewed your quiz, you still feel that there is a mistake in the grading, I will regrade the problem. My decision will be final.</p> <p>Remember, I will regrade the entire problem. I will not focus on one small part of your solution. If the grader has made an error in grading, in your favor or against it, I will make the appropriate adjustment in the points awarded.</p>2009-10-14T14:15:33ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:207452009-10-10T23:05:49Z<i>This item is restricted: please visit the website to view it.</i>2009-10-10T23:18:27ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:20691.updated:2009-10-10 18:18:272009-10-07T12:05:18Z<p>By now you should have read through chapter 5. You should not worry too much about section 5-4, on numerical integration. It would be a good idea for you to read the section but I do not anticipate assigning and problems associated with it. The material in 5-4 might come up next semester in 1202. The other sections are important and you do need to have a working knowledge of the material covered in those sections.</p> <p>SUGGESTED PROBLEMS FOR CHAPTER 5:</p> <p>60, 62, 63, 80, 81, 87, 94, 102, 105, 136</p>2009-10-09T14:25:10ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:20639.updated:2009-10-09 09:25:102009-10-07T12:45:15Z<ul> <table width="100%" bgcolor="#eeeeee"> <tr valign="top"><td> <a href="downloads/20641-ADDENDUM_TO_SYLLABUS.pdf" title="9&nbsp;Kbytes, application/pdf">ADDENDUM_TO_SYLLABUS.pdf</a> </td><td align="right"> <small><i>posted October 7, 2009 at 7:46am</i></small> </td></tr> </table> </ul>2009-10-07T12:46:15ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:20640.updated:2009-10-07 07:46:152009-09-30T01:28:47Z<ul> <table width="100%" bgcolor="#eeeeee"> <tr valign="top"><td> Equation sheet for quiz #1<br> <a href="downloads/20535-Equation_sheet_for_quiz_#1.pdf" title="25&nbsp;Kbytes, application/pdf">Equation_sheet_for_quiz_#1.pdf</a> </td><td align="right"> <small><i>posted September 29, 2009 at 8:29pm</i></small> </td></tr> </table> </ul>2009-09-30T01:29:51ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:20534.updated:2009-09-29 20:29:512009-09-28T12:20:34Z<p>Chapter 4: 58. 61, 62, 73, 76, 79, 80, 81, 92, 93</p>2009-09-28T12:20:34ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:204872009-09-22T13:11:23Z<i>This item is restricted: please visit the website to view it.</i>2009-09-22T13:14:31ZJames Eckertcid:1204.eid:20375.updated:2009-09-22 08:14:312009-09-22T12:14:51Z<p>If you try to access the homework solutions and you are unmable to do so; DO NOT FOLLOW ANY LINKS THAT MAY APPEAR!!!!
