completed I need to critique myself more when I get something wrong. Week 01: Week of 01/23/06 - 01/29/06. Assignments 0, 1, 2 and associated class notes Assignment 1 Watch the video of the Honda add at http://www.videoclipstream.com/akamai/h-l/honda/ or http://www.ebaumsworld.com/honda-ad.html. The animations are fairly small and not particularly clear in some of the details but either one shows almost everything. If you have RealPlayer there are other links with larger and clearer pictures. You can also search the Web under Honda Cog Commercial for better or alternative links. 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. Preferably read the background first (link below), which takes a few minutes but is worth it. If you want to read about the process (this stuff all really happened and it took a team of engineers over 600 takes until it all worked) click on Honda commercial background.htm . See Class Notes #01-#03. Class notes start on CD #2 and are run by running the disk_2 html file in the root folder of the CD. Then run the program q_a_class_notes..., which will ask you the questions posed in the Class Notes Questions and give you feedback on your answers. Send the resulting SEND file in the usual manner.

Distance Students: Complete q_a_area_volumes_misc.exe asst 1 on Areas and submit SEND files at the end the day. This program should have been downloaded from Supervised Study Current Semester > Course Documents > Downloads (the program is directly under Downloads; don't click on Physics I).

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). Then run the program q_a_video_clips ..., which will ask you the questions posed on the disk_1 file and give you feedback on your answers. Send the resulting SEND file in the usual manner.

Introductory Problem Sets, Set 1, #'s 1-7 Solve each problem in this set before you look at the solution. Keep practicing until you can completely solve the problems, which change every 5 minutes, without consulting the solution. Be sure you understand every solution, including all the reasoning and not just the shortest way to get a right answer. Reasoning is essential because everything in this course builds on things you have learned before, and because it is much easier to proceed by reasoning from a few principles than by trying to remember large number of unconnected and complicated details. Distance Students: View and take notes on related material for Introductory Problem Sets 1 and 2, found on CD #0 under the heading Uniformly Accelerated Motion, and also on Introduction to Rates, Graphs, Linearization on the same CD. Physics 121 students need not master the material on linearization. When you have completed the entire assignment run the Query program and submit the SEND file using the Submit Work Form for Assignment 1. http://www.videoclipstream.com/akamai/h-l/honda/ or http://www.ebaumsworld.com/honda-ad.html. Honda commercial background.htm . Class Notes Introductory Problem Sets,

• Introductory Problem Sets, Set 1, #'s 1-7 • Solve each problem in this set before you look at the solution.

ok If you have a questions on some of the text problems you can submit them using the Submit Work form. You have to type it in word-processed format, including what the problem is about and what you were thinking about when you did it. Also, put what you understood and what you are having trouble with. ok You need to write things down so that you can go back and look at them when studying. Also, you learn more when you write things down.

I believe you understand very well what needs to be done. Your work looks good so far and you are off to a good start in the course.
