Showed card game. Introduced Studyguide. Did first quiz on motion. Don't sweat these calculations if you can't do them. You have other ways to succeed in this class.

Attendance policy: Allowed to miss 15 days without penalty. Nominally, you must attend 60 days to get 100%.

and D is the days that you attend, OR 55 if you attend more than 55 days.


Polarizing filters. Maybe do another wikiquiz.

5 An apple speeds up as it falls. At every instant in time it seems to have a certain speed. How do you mathematically describe this "instantaneous" velocity? when the two times are nearly the same. See also File:Tangent as Secant Limit.svg

Thur oct 5 curve fit newton's cannon

[edit | edit source]

Procedure:

  1. Measure distance "as crow flies" for v = 1000 and 4000 m/s.
  2. Predict distance for v=2000. Make a sketch showing how a graph and similar triangles would permit you to find a formula. You can also get the formula by something called Regression_analysis
  3. Measure and calculate Big/Small and also percent error. The latter is (Measured−True)/True. You can report Big/Small as off by a factor of .... For small errors (less than about 10% or so, they essentially give the same information).
  4. Fit your three points to a parabola. It's best not to use Excel curve fit. There is an Excel extension, but it is more convenient to search the internet for "regression" fitting.
  5. Now use your parabola to predict the distance for v=3000. Measure and compare as before.

We collected this data (USING A REDUCED IMAGE ON THE SCREEN):

initial
speed  DISTANCE
m/s     CM
1000	7.2
4000	36.9
2000	12.4
3000	19.9

This lab is in "Public Domain Format" with individual reports.

  • Verify and compare these claims:
  1. nationalgeographi.com (google) Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880.
  2. Summary of findings - Muller (berkeleyearth.org) The analysis shows that the rise in average world land temperature globe is approximately 1.5 degrees C in the past 250 years, and about 0.9 degrees in the past 50 years.
  3. Wikipedia:Global warming
  • Translate this into degrees per mile here in Ohio, or degrees per day here in the spring or fall.

Advanced curve fitting with Newton's cannon

  • Goal: Find the so-called "parabolic" curve File:Kepler_orbits.svg. Or more precisely, be able to predict periods for near-parabolic ellipses by extraplating. Let y=1/t, where t is the time to crash, and do a fit for y=y(v), where v is the initial speed. Data
