This video is for the AP class to view to preview the derivation of a mass on a spring.

Heat Engine

May 19th, 2010

This is an edited version of the class dealing with Heat Engines.  The purpose of the class was to understand the conservation of energy that develops into thermal efficiency.

Also, at the beginning of the video, is a brief explanation of the writing assignment titled “First law Activity.”  this is a 30 point writing assignment.

The Carnot Cycle

May 19th, 2010

This 4 minute video uses a textbook diagram to give a “quick” rundown of the Carnot Cycle.

The Carnot Cycle is an “Ideal” heat engine that will not work. The purpose of this cycle is to present a “Best Case” scenerio of what could possible take place.

Level 2 Rotational Dynamics Problem

May 17th, 2010

This short video is taken from still photos from class, and just after class, to finalize a sample problems that were presented in class. 

There are two solutions; one from last Thursday, and one from today

Rotational Dynamics Problem Level 2

Thermal Energy Lab

May 7th, 2010

This is a video from class showing the data collected.  There is very little editing so, some of the items written on the board may be difficult to read.  I’m thinking everything is stated as audio as well.

Rotational Dynamics Test Prep

April 26th, 2010

This is a video of a series of still photos taken during the review sessions in class.  Each class did differend problems, so there are different problems for everyone.  The lst problem is by far the most challenging.

Make frequent use of the pause button when working through the problems so you are able to work through them as well.

Good luck preparing for this test!!!

This is not the test that was issued, but it was an old test that was similar…

I could not find the key to the test I issued.Rotationa Dynamics Key
