Level I Physics Plans

Shoemaker

2023-2024

Semester 1

Updated 5/6/2024

 

Class Goal

Use what you know to

understand what you don’t know yet

in order to learn & understand the bigger picture

These plans are a working document and are subject to change.  Plans are made for a “quickest possible” schedule.  Work toward the written plan and communicate difficulties.

All students are responsible to know what is listed when.  I recommend that you book mark/shortcut, etc to this page.

-Main Concept

-Free Fall

 

Methods

-Explain acceleration of gravity as a “partial truth” that will be explained in more detail later.

-g is just a “special” acceleration, acts in the vertical direction, and is always straight down.

-Sample problem of a ball falling.

-Ball rolling up and down an incline.

Video showing the relationship between time and position of an accelerating object.
