U2 Physics

In this activity student will use a motion sensor to collect the position of a pull-back toy cart. Students will use the equations of kinematic to determine the acceleration from a velocity vs time graph, or a position vs time graph. Students will use the information obtained to answer the post lab questions. Students also will learn and practice on data collection, and display using data tables and graph.

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.

Students will be able to measure the acceleration of a cart down the ramp for different inclination angles, collected data may be used to predict the acceleration of the cart for an angle of 90 degrees by extrapolation. A graph of acceleration vs. sine(angle) should yield a strait line with a slope equals to the free fall acceleration g. A key and student sample data is provided.

Use video analysis to measure the acceleration of a falcon 9 rocket. How to determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the rocket over time? How to use the data collected to analyze the rocket's motion? This lab activity is divided in four main sections, Introduction, data collection and data plotting , Analysis questions, and post-lab questions. any online source showing telemetry from a rocket launch may be used.

Students investigate the acceleration of a cart down an incline for different incline angles, they will use the data obtained in this investigation to estimate the acceleration the cart would have if the angle is 90 degrees (vertical drop). This lab may be used to make the connection between accelerated motion and free fall motion.

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

Work organizer to balance oxidation-reduction reactions using the half equation method.
