Assignments 0-4: Introduction, Uniformly Accelerated Motion
Preliminary Assignment (orientation and assessment)
Distance Students: BE SURE YOU HAVE CONTACTED YOUR INSTRUCTOR BY EMAIL. You will receive instructions for accessing the necessary Blackboard sessions, and for then completing other preliminary tasks including downloads from the Supervised Study page and the q_a_orientation program.
This preliminary assignment will orient you to the course and give you your first exposure to the subject matter of this course and to the communication process. This assignment will typically require a week's work, though many students will be able to complete it more quickly while some might require a little longer.
Distance Students: Run the q_a_orientation program, all seven sections, and email the associated Send files to the instructor according to the instructions given in that program.
Distance Students: Run the program q_a_initial_pbs.exe. Do the Physics initial problems, the Typewriter Notation Problems and the Describing Graphs problems and send the SEND file to the instructor. These three assignments may be done on different days and can therefore be sent in different SEND files. If you have not done this, do so now; however wait until your day's work is done and send all SEND files at the end of the day.
Distance Students: Complete the program q_a_int_pbs_communication.exe and email the instructor the appropriate SEND file at the end of your day.
Distance Students: Complete the q_a_rates.exe program.
DISTANCE STUDENTS: NOTE VIDEO VERSIONS OF CLASS NOTES ON CD's, Starting with CD #2. See CD Contents for table of contents.
Read instructions for Unpacking your Initial Lab Materials, which are packaged with your first set of CDs. Read also Common Items not supplied with Lab Materials.
Assignment 0
Be sure you have completed the Preliminary Assignment above.
See Physics I First Assignments for more details and clarification on the Week 1 assignments.
See Which Assignments Do I Need To Complete? to clarify which assignments are necessary for your specific course.
Introductory Questions. You might want to revisit these questions regularly throughout the course so you can see how your understanding has changed during the term.
Perform Mini-Experiment 1, Rolling an Object Down an Incline under Mini-Experiments and submit your results as instructed in the red letters just under the heading of that page.
Run the program q_a_pend_exp.exe or q_a_pend_exp_121_version.exe, which you should have downloaded from the Supervised Study Current Semester pages. Phy 121 students should run the 121 version; other students may run this version before running the other since all of the data and results from the 121 version will be applicable to the other version.
The pendulum experiment uses one of the washers you received with your CD and a length of thread (which you should have; very light string is also OK) to construct and make observations on a pendulum, and to then analyze your results into a mathematical model. You also need a ruler. If you don't have one then click on Rulers and print out the page, which should give you a reasonably accurate ruler (about six of them, in fact). This model will allow you to use a pendulum as a timing device in certain experiments.
General College Physics Students and University Physics Students: Read Chapter 1 of your Text
General and University Physics students who wish to get started on the text may get a head start by working on the Chapter 1 problems from Assignments #02 - #07. This is purely optional at this time.
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 and 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 .
Perform Mini-Experiment 4, Timing with the Pearl Pendulum, under Mini-Experiments and submit your results as instructed in bold red letters just under the heading of that page.
Read the instructions for submitting experiments just under the main heading in Video Versions Introductory Motion Experiments. Then using the CD #0 disk for the video files perform in the same document Video Version Experiment 2, Average Velocity vs. Slope and Rate of Change of Velocity, Video Version. If you don't have a ruler you can print out reasonably accurate copies of rulers by clicking on Rulers and printing the page you see.
See Class Notes #01-#03. Class notes start on CD #2. 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 the Supervised Study Current Semester pages under 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 on CD #0, and also on Introduction to Rates, Graphs, Linearization on the same CD. Physics 121 students need not master the material on linearization.

Distance Students: As you have been instructed, you should have run the program q_a_initial_pbs.exe, which you were instructed to download from The Supervised Study page into your c:\vhmthphy folder. You should have been instructed to do the Typewriter Notation problems and send the SEND file to the instructor. If you have not done this, do so now.
In-class students: You will be instructed regarding the Typewriter Notation assignment.
Randomized Problems: Assignment 2, Problem 1. Randomly choose a version of the problem , solve it and submit it. (There are 40 versions for Problem 1, 9 versions for Problem 2). Submit your solution directly by email.
Introductory Problem Sets, Set 2, #'s 1-3. See also Uniformly Accelerated Motion on CD #0.
