course phy 201

10/25/11 8:30I have worked on the 111012 and 111019 assignments but am not understanding if I am doing any at all correct. I get so confused. If there is a time you could possibly sit down with me I would greatly appreciate it. Sorry for my ignorance, hope you can give me a little help. I seem to understand it much better in class than when I get home and start working on it without your immediate feedback.

Physics 201 in-class experiment:

Report your data. For this experiment data consist of the x and y coordinates of the three rubber bands, and the lengths of your colored calibrating rubber bands when attached to the end of each of the three:

****

(45.5, 58.5)

(19.5, 56)

(29.5, 28.5)

(33, 61)

(0, 25)

my lab partner and I didn't have time to get the sixth coordinates before we had to move on to something else.

Explain what your data mean:

****

each set of numbers are x and y coordinates

each set is a point on an x and y graph.

This data report should be copied and submitted separately, as soon as possible.

"

@& I gave you a quick re-measurement today, and you can use that data.

Do take a few minutes and report that data.

Some of the problems in the assignments you mention are pretty challenging.

I'll be glad to take some time and go over your specific areas of confusion. First I want to see the work you have been able to do on those assignments; this will allow me to form a clear idea of what you do and do not understand.

Get that to me, and remember that a good question is always as welcome as a good solution.

In the meantime tell me when you are free and we can work out a time to meet. We can meet to discuss a problem set any time after you have submitted it. Even if I haven't yet reviewed it, I will be able to pull it up and take a quick look.*@
