Assignment 10 corrections:
  • Question 2, Chapter 10, Problem 46. The wording given in the taxt book is unclear. Part (a) should read "(a) After the rod rotates through 90°, what is the system’s rotational kinetic energy?"
  • Question 4, Chapter 10, Problem 58. To do the question correctly you need the diameter of the tennis ball: use 6.50 cm.

CUPE strike notes:
    • I will continue to hold classes for as long as it is practical to do so.
    • From now on, until the strike is over, I will not record participation using the clickers. I do not want to penalize you if for whatever reason you choose not to come to class because of the strike. We will continue to use the clickers in class however.
    • Hand assignments to me, preferably during class on Friday's when due. Do not use the drop boxes in the foyer

The Concept quiz page has now been updated. On that page you can view the concept quiz questions we have had in class and you can check your answers.
2007-10-01 I have now started recording your participation in class through the use of the clickers. There was an error on my part for the data from lectures 9 and 10, but the system is now working reliably. You can view you participation through the scores link on the Concept Quiz page. Remember you will have to participate in at least 80% of the classes in order to receive the 2% participation mark.
2007-08-13 First class is Wednesday September 5, 2007 at 11:30 am in Physics Building lecture theatre 103.
