This example shows how to find the initial vertical velocity of an object if its maximum height (apex) is known.
equations of motion example – finding “g”
In this problem, experimental data is used to obtain a value for “g”, acceleration due to gravity.
equations of motion – worked examples
I’ve had a request to post some worked examples of the equations of motion. I’ve done these quickly as handwritten examples with red pen down the side to explain what I have done at each step. I’ll post them as 5 different blog entries so that iTunes will pick up all the pdf files – you only get one file per blog post on iTunes.
If you want any extra practice at these, you have the P&N problem booklet at home. Alternatively, you could be adventurous and look at the blue text book end of chapter questions or even a past paper – you have completed Unit 1 after all!
Higher HW download has been fixed
Sara pointed out this afternoon that there was a problem with the iTunes HW I put online last night. I think the file was currupted when I uploaded it because it wouldn’t work for me either!
I have sent it up to the server again and it seems to work on both mac and pc. Can you delete the old one from your iTunes library if you downloaded it last night or this morning and try again. Please leave a comment if it still won’t work for you.
Higher HW – gas laws and electric fields
Here is your HW covering the end of unit 1 and the start of unit 2. This exercise is slightly longer (7 questions) so that you won’t have to do any HW over the Christmas holidays. Make sure you hand in your answers no later than Monday 15th December.
