You should have completed the Introductory Assignment (see above) before beginning Assignment 0.
You should have ordered and received your Lab Materials Package. If not, please contact the bookstore and arrange to get that package. If you have not submitted the Lab Materials Form you should do so now.
When you have received your initial lab materials package, check the page
Initial Lab Materials for a list of materials and a picture. Then unpack carefully and do not lose or discard any of the items.
If you don't have a ruler, get one, marked in metric units (centimeters); it's OK if it's also marked in inches, but the metric units are essential. You may also click on Rulers and print out the page, which contains images of about six reasonably accurate rulers.
Be sure you have completed the Preliminary Assignment above.
See Which Assignments Do I Need To Complete? to clarify which assignments are necessary for your specific course.
Do the initial timing experiment .
Read over Chapter 1 of your Text. If you do not yet have the text you may delay text-related assignments for a few days until you get your copy.
Introductory Problem Sets, Set 1, #'s 1-7
Solve each problem in this set before you look at its solution; always at least make your best attempt at a solution before reading the given solution. Then read the solution and take notes.
Keep practicing until you can completely solve the problems, which change every 5 minutes, without consulting the solutions.
Be sure you understand every given solution, including all the reasoning and not just the shortest way to get a right answer. Everything in this course builds on things you have learned before, so begin the course with good mastery of the ideas presented in the given solutions.
Be sure you understand that the problems in the above link change every 5 minutes. If you prefer to use a 'static' version of the problem sets you may just click on Static Version of Introductory Problem Sets. However note that the static version shows only one version of each problem; most problems have more than one version, and the numbers used in the problems of the non-static version also change every 5 minutes.

Assignment 1
Go to the form 'Seed' Question 1.1, do as instructed and submit.
Go to the form 'Seed' Question 1.2, do as instructed and submit.
Watch the video of the Honda 'cog' commercial. Just do a search for 'Honda cog commercial' and you'll get a lot of potential links. The original commercial is of high video quality; present 'youtube' quality (fall 2010) is not sufficient to see all the details, though most come through. It's worth trying to find a higher-quality rendering. Everything that happens there is physics and as this course progresses you will develop an understanding of the principles and laws that govern this system. Some links include the background of the commercial. It takes a few minutes to read but is worth it (this stuff all really happened and it took a team of engineers over 600 takes until it all worked).
Submit the form Formatting Guidelines and Conventions before doing any subsequent experiments. This form shouldn't take you over 30 minutes.
Complete the lab Error Analysis I.
Submit the open query for this assignment using the Submit Work Form. The Open Query will ask you questions about your work on selected problems. You are required only to submit the Open Query.

OVERVIEW ASSIGNMENT: Read everything under Idea 1, Idea 2 and Idea 3 in the synopsis.htm. You won't understand everything you read but digest as much of it as possible, and make brief notes on these ideas. You will revisit this synopsis in about a week to gauge your progress.
See Class Notes #01. Class notes start on CD #2 and are run by running the disk_2 html file in the root folder of the CD.
There are questions in the Class Notes. You should think about these questions, but you are not required to submit answers the questions in Class Notes.
The optional program qa_class_notes contains these questions in a q_a_ format. If you choose to use it, then in order to run this program, you should first run the q a prelim, which will create a necessary folder on your computer and show you how to submit the SEND files created by the program.
You may use this program in any way you choose:
You may ignore it completely.
You may simply 'click through' it, perhaps choosing to think through your answers before seeing the given solutions and taking notes on the given solutions.
You might choose to type in questions and/or answers to some or all questions and/or give solutions and submit the SEND file.
The Class Notes sometimes appear to assign an experiment or an activity. However unless the experiment is assigned on this Assignments page you do not need to do it.
View Physics Video Clips 01-03 on the Gen1 CD (note that the root folder of that CD is pretty cluttered; the file you are looking for is entitled disk_1.htm, which might simply show up as disk_1; when the file appears in your browser click on the Physics Video Clips link). You should think about the questions but are not expected to submit them. You may then choose to run the optional program qa_video_clip_questions, which can be used in a manner similar to the qa_class_notes (see note in red, above).

OVERVIEW ASSIGNMENT: Go to the Physics I Basic Quantities and Relationships and research Lines 53 - 67. Make careful note of anything you do not completely understand and organize the ideas you do understand.
OVERVIEW ASSIGNMENT: Read everything under Idea 13-16 in the synopsis.htm. Also review, as necessary, the Ideas 1 - 12. You should by now understand everything you read in terms of problems you have mastered, experiments you have done and materials you have read. Make notes on what you do and do not understand, then review the first four assignments to secure your knowledge of these ideas.
