An outline of topics to be addressed each day is presented below. This list is not complete; additional items are covered for most classes. If students are absent, they should consult these pages and check with the instructor concerning material missed.
¢ Last Month
¢ Review Exercise on material through chapter 10 next Tuesday
¢ Chapter 13: Temperature and Kinetic Energy
¢ Everyone get a text - either yours if you have it or one from the cabinet.
¢ Some commentary from the College Board - and amplying comments by me - one more time
¢ Exercise 2-5: note the changes - no additional Physlets will be assigned in the future - takes up too much class time - will spend class time working problems
and completing exercises with homework done at home.
¢ Chapter 10 completion: Discuss additional solved problems
Note that 5 of the problems are very similar to the ones assigned.
You only need to do 6 of the ones assigned.
¢ Chapter 13: Temperature and Kinetic Energy
¢ The finals for science will be the afternoon of Wednesday Dec 16. Exact start time and location have not been published.
¢ Material that will be provided and that students will be allowed to use: Equations, Moments of Inertia, extra 8 1/2 x 11 sheet that I will explain in class
¢ Schedule for remainder of week and next - see below
¢ Volume flow rate explanation - seemed to be some uncertainty yesterday
¢ Additional example problems for chapter 10 (9 example questions and 12 example problems - solutions and discussion)
¢ Continue chapter 13: Temperature and Kinetic Energy: Key concepts and examples
¢ Lab on Bernoulli and Archimedes next class - Monday
¢ Review Exercise on material through chapter 10 next Wedneday (moved from Tuesday)
¢ Review of chapters 9 and 10 - for review exercise next Wednesday will be next Tuesday
¢ Additional example problems for chapter 10: 2 multiple-choice questions - 2 more next class
¢ Exercise 2-5 due today
Monday (Double Period)
¢ Review exercise Wednesday mostly (may be completely) on chapters 9 and 10
¢ Exams: Who has a conflict with the published schedule (on home page)
¢ Decision on the extra sheet of paper - a useful quotation
¢ Four Useful Derivations: Special cases of Bernoulli - introduce to today - details discussed next class
¢ Review of example 10 solution explained previously: Ideas may be useful for Lab 2-4 below.
¢ Lab 2-4: Bernoulli-Torricelli and Archimedes
¢ Jason: Missing last exercise
¢ Lab 2-4: Bernoulli-Torricelli and Archimedes
¢ Review for Review Exercise on material in chapters 8 through 10 - focused on chapters 9 and 10
Ø Chapter 8: Rotational Motion
¢ Review Exercise on material in chapters 8 through 10 - focused on chapters 9 and 10
¢ Will develop a schedule (input from students) for those with conflicts with regularly scheduled final
¢ Lab 2-4: Bernoulli-Torricelli and Archimedes: Due Monday, next class is Monday
¢ Pass around sheet - let me know if conflict with regular scheduled exam and what the alternative is
¢ Chapter 13: Temperature and Kinetic Energy sample problems and questions
¢ Exam: Will cover material in chapters 1 through 10. Will not cover material in chapter 13-may be extra credit question(s) on final concerning chapter 13
(sections 1, 2, 4, and 6 only) - material I summarized in class today
¢ No Class
¢ College Board Learning Objectives:
Manual, link at top look at percentages recommended by College Board Compare with my schedule
The "Acorn" booklet published by College Board
¢ Review Exercise graded and returned - at end of period
Ø Fluid pressure acts perpendicular to surface it is in contact with - this is not the same as acting opposite (latter has no meaning without further clarification)
Ø Absolute pressure is gauge plus atomospheric
Ø delta m over delta t is the mass flow rate, not the volume flow rate, not the flow rate of a monkey on a bannana river, etc.
Ø mechanical advantage is an important concept - the lift problem
Ø These examples of Bernoulli's Principle were mentioned many times in class, on my site, etc. Some were not listening....
Ø
Curve ball
Ø
Chimney smoke
Ø
Atomizer
Ø
Airplane wing
¢ Exercise 2-5 solution summary
¢ The AP Physics B exam
Ø 3 hours long equally divided time between multiple-choice and free-response questions
Ø 70 multiple-choice questions: with 1 1/2 hours given that is an average of 1.3 minutes per question
Ø 6 free-response questions: 4 taking about 17 minutes each and 2 shorter taking about 11 minutes each. This is an average of 15 minutes per question
¢ My Finals Exam
Ø I will provide the equations that were provided for all review exercises. No additional notes or references, or any type of electronic equipment can be used
Ø Calculators cannot be used - problems given will not require their use. As always, expressions with units are all that are needed on the free-response section
Ø 2 1/2 hours long divided into multiple-choice and free-response questions. Can work in any sequence; following analysis assumes equal time used for each
Ø 60 multiple-choice questions - with 75 minutes provided, that is an average of 1.3 minutes per question (same time as on the ap exam)
Ø 3 free-response questions- with 75 minutes provided, that is an average of 25 minutes per question (more time than on the ap exam)
¢ Over 100 sample multiple-choice questions from material covered: Link is at bottom of Section II in my manual
¢ Lab 2-4: Bernoulli-Torricelli and Archimedes: DUE TODAY
¢ Chapter 13: Temperature and Kinetic Energy: Review of previously covered material - any extra credit questions on the final will be from chapter 13

The final exam schedule you gave me for Astronomy - Thursday Mng, Aux Gym - no one knows anything about it - I checked with both J Carrell and K Carrol
Coordinate this and let me know today
¢ Schedule for exam - let me know now if there are any corrections
¢ Physics in action (sort of..)
