Physics is about studying how the universe works, and since you're in it, it's really about understanding you and the world you live in. Hopefully you'll find this very interesting! Seek to improve your learning by polishing each portfolio objective, each online text assignment, and then by noticing physics in your life!

Acceleration Profiles (and then phinish other demonstrations of mastery)

Today we'll see if you can (learn how to) interpret an acceleration profile!

1)  Start by showing your mastery level of the clicker review Qs.  THEN...

2)  In your groups, grab a small whiteboard, sketch the "important" information from the picture below, and explain what is going on (and which ride is it?)

3)  THEN, (while you wait for Mr. C to stop by and chat) phinish whatever online demonstrations of mastery you need to for the quarter.  If you haven't already, go to the middle of the classroom to learn about how to use the torque setting on a drill.
