U2 Physics

Create velocity vs. time graphs using the information from the given position vs. time graphs. The velocity is calculated from the slope of the line in the position vs. time graph.

Use the Aufbau rules together with the Pauli's exclusion principle, and Hund's rule to complete the activity. Cut-out the electrons (Arrows) to place the electrons in the right suborbitals taking into account opposite spins.

Practice on plotting data into a chart and get useful information from the chart using excel or google sheets, you may upload a copy of this file to your google drive and convert it to a google sheet. Students will experience the connection between the speed of the moving object and the slope of the line in the chart, as well as the meaning of the y-intercept as the starting position of the object. There are good videos available in youtube.com about the topic to show the students before doing

In this activity, students will use the equation for the law of conservation of momentum to predict the initial velocity of the metal sphere for an inelastic collision. Students will measure the mass of the objects, and the final velocity of the cart-ball system after the collision, and use the equation for conservation of momentum to calculate the initial velocity of the ball, this activity may be extended by also measuring the initial velocity of the ball using an extra motion sensor, a photog
