Hi~
ReplyDeleteWill there be a homework help going on Thursday like you have been talking about? I have some questions on several Homework 1 problems :) Thanks!

ReplyDeleteYes there will be a HW help on Thursday (details will be posted on that in a few days). It would also be fine to post your questions here now. I would be interested to see them. This is a pretty long and varied assignment I think (so it may be good to make progress on it early).
ReplyDeleteAlright! So, Chapter Three problem three is the first one I had trouble with. I don' know where to start... maybe you could just give me a hint or formula I should be using?

ReplyDeleteIf the ball is being thrown upward, is gravity helping it go faster? or slowing it down?
After figuring that out, think about HOW MUCH it is being sped up or slowed down. Can you make predictions as to how fast the ball will be going after 1 second? 5 seconds?
Also, there is sort of a symmetry between going up and down. The time it takes to go up to the top (where v= 0) is the same as the time it takes to get back to the starting point from the top.
ReplyDeleteThe formula for an object released from rest and in free fall, for distance covered from rest (t=0), is d = (1/2) g t^2 (page 55)
Homework help session will be in Nat. Sci. Annex room 101 on Thursdays starting at 6:00 PM.
ReplyDeleteI'm not able to access the e-book on-line, is anyone else having this problem/know of a possible solution?
ReplyDeleteIs the credit for the on-line homework being given through first attempts, best attempts, or latest attempts?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunatel you have to but the ebook. Please see the earlier POST (and comments) regarding Texbook/website information.
ReplyDeletefor the chapter 5 tutorial, theres a "pop" quiz at the end. when we finish that, who do we email the results to
ReplyDeletePwrfulfish - no need to email the quiz scores. Use them just to help your understanding of the material.
ReplyDeleteis the natural sciences annex the same as the natural sciences 2 annex? because that's the only one I know of-near the thimann lecture hall, sci. library, etc.?
ReplyDeletebravo - yep, that's the room.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteAs I was completing both of the tutorials for chapter 5, I found myself unable to save the results for the tutorials, is anyone else having that problem and could anyone assist me on this.
ReplyDeleteAmando - the only thing I'm aware of is that you need to click the "Q" to exit the tutorial with the scores saved. Beyond that, I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteIf it still doesn't work, don't worry too much, we're all trying to learn this system.
Where do we pick up our homework?
ReplyDeleteIt will be returned in class, but not before Friday.
ReplyDeleteHrm I made some air-headed mistakes on the online tutorials, how much of the homework grade is based off of these online tutorials? Are they just there to help me learn the material for the assignments we turn in? Are you just checking to see that I've completed them? Thanks
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I meant to post that on the HW 2 entry, yet another air-headed mistake.
