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.

 

Monday

¢ Last Month

 

Tuesday

 

¢ Review Exercise on material through chapter 10 next Tuesday

¢ Chapter 13: Temperature and Kinetic Energy

 

Wednesday

 

¢ 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

 

 

Thursday

 

¢ 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

 

Friday

 

¢ 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

 

Tuesday

 

¢ Jason: Missing last exercise

¢ Demonstration

¢ Five Useful Derivations

¢ 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

      Ø Chapter 9: Statics

      Ø Chapter 10: Fluids

 

Wednesday

 

¢ Review Exercise on material in chapters 8 through 10 - focused on chapters 9 and 10

¢ Finish reading chapter 13 for next class - may be extra credit question(s) on final concerning chapter 13: Note  the sections covered

¢ Will develop a schedule (input from students) for those with conflicts with regularly scheduled final

 

Thursday

 

¢ 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

¢ Solution to Review Exercise

¢ 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

 

Friday

 

¢ No Class 

 

Monday

 

¢ Schedule for exam

¢ 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

     Ø Magnitude of force of person 2 - gave credit for any reasonable attempt - may see this one again

     Ø Seesaw - gave credit for any reasonable attempt - may see this one again

     Ø Only 1 student got the sinking canoe problem correct

     Ø For the moment of inertia problem, the diameter was given - the formula is in terms of radius - read problems carefully

     Ø Multiple-choice questions had only 1 answer per problem - clearly stated - read problems carefully

     Ø 45 questions: Counted 1 each, extra credit counted 1/2 each rounded up

     Ø Grades ranged from 82 to 97

¢ 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
