Mathematics Latest and I hope last Review Sheet

Sorry its so long, try to do about 8 sheets per night. You should be about finished with light by now. We will finish waves and light tomorrow and E and M on Wednesday. This leaves the short period  on Thursday and any time outside of class hours up to your test on Friday.

Mathematical Review for Physics

Here is this afternoon's update of the review sheet. Its good up to middle of page 28. Final version should be out tomorrow.

Honors Quiz on Fluids and Thermo

For the quiz expect to define and find pressure, find velocity for a flowing fluid, know how to calculate flow rate(m3/s), understand and use buoyancy ( Archimede's principle), understand the basics underlying thermo and gas pressure, and be able to do a simple cycle and calculate efficiency.

Thermo cycle for tomorrow: use the same diagram and same format as the table in the Thermo Notes. Here are the new values. Complete table and compute efficiency for this cycle

Point T (K) P (Pa)        V (m3)       Process     DU (J)        W by (J)             Qin (J)
A 300           3.6x107                        A-B
B 1500          3.6x107                        B-C                           2.21x109
C 1500                                900        C-D
D 300             6x105           180       D-A                          -4.42x108

Mathematical Review for Final as of Sunday 11 PM

Here is the latest version, good to page 25.  This goes from waves to light, before covering electricity and magnetism. I don't like this but it is the way the other mathematical course are taught. Electricity and Magnetism will be completed in the next version and then fluids and thermo.

For those doing the Spinmeister activity

Here is a link ( not a live link so you will have to paste it into your browser) for a picture and a very brief discussion of the Spinmeister

Great Adventure Labs

Labs are due Monday June 2 to get one full letter, ten extra points, above the lab's normal grade.
Due by by June 9 to get any credit

You do not have to do activity 2 Conscious Commuting

Honors and Mathematical Thermo Assignment notes sample cycle

The sample cycle problem in the Thermo notes is now an assignment, due Monday June 2.

For the sample cycle problem in the notes on thermo use the following:

for work done in an isothermal process
Work done by gas = PinitialV initial x ln (Vfinal/Vinitial)
so work done by gas from D to A = -2.64 x10^7 Joules

and work done by gas from B to C = +1.33 x10^8 Joules

Plug these in and you should be able to do the rest

Period 2 Great Adventure

Apparently Period 2 groups 3 , 4, and 6 feel no need to have the activity sheets for Great Adventure, since they were laying in 506 at the end of period 2. This is fine by me . However, unless I hear a very good explanation you will all receive zero for the labs and extra credit.

Mathematical Labs

Since there was more than one 8 th period in folder last week I will accept that the refraction labs marked 5/21 can have been turned in on 5/19. I will adjust your marks accordingly. Turn your lab back in if it was marked late incorrectly.

Even more about Wednesday

All of you, read through the introductory material in the packet about force, acceleration, etc.

Those not going: First get packet from door to 506. One activity ( your choice of the 3 in the packet) is required, 2nd can replace worst lab, 3rd can get you up to 15 pts extra credit.
Period 2 go to room 531
Period 4 room 534
Period 6 532
Period 7 534
Period 8 534

Those going: same deal as those not i.e. one activity ( your choice of the ones in your group packet ) is required, 2nd can replace worst lab, 3rd can get you up to 15 pts extra credit.
You'll get packets including angle and acceleration devices on the bus. Read through the material so you'll know what and how to measure for each activity on each ride. Bring pens and index cards for data taking.

6th period groups:

#1 Katie, Ann, Rijul
#2 Peter, Parsa, Nicole
#3 Alex, Rebecca, Isha ( nice concert tonight ladies), Anita
#4 Garrett, dan, Ryan, Kuba
#4 Andrew, Jane, Sydney

8th period groups
#1 Marissa, Danielle, Kristen, and Alex, ( boy that's some group)
#2 Ashley, Ryan, Tara
#3 Spud,Peter, Evan
#4 Walker, Ray ( outstanding concert tonight you two) , Nick

More Urgent about Wednesday

More coming so check later


1) Bus changes Bus 6 is all of Period 2 EXCEPT Meaghan, Andrew V, and Tom, who are on Bus 7.
