We discussed problem solutions and particular this unassigned problem (6-26) The solution is posted.

We discussed measurement errors - see this note (in ppt or pdf)

You worked on quiz 2 and then solved this problem (see the solution)

Problem solutions were discussed and the note on terminal velocity

We discussed some problem solutions. We also started a discussion of terminal velocity and free fall and I refer you to this note

We discussed homework problems related to projectile motion and then discussed the effect of air resistance on the trajectory

We discussed vectors - addition, dot product and cross product.You might also want to visit this nice website on vectors.

Quiz 1 was distributed - you took it. Solutions are posted. Also - we discussed a numerical solution to a kinematics problem.

Katie Starks, James Sidell and Mike Snow presented solutions to today's problems. We also reviewed one-dimensional kinematics with constant acceleration.

James Lewis provided these websites:

We discussed the kinematics of this dependence of displacement vs time:

Tedi and Jean gave a nice summary of one of the problem solutions and an upcoming Fermi problem.
