AP Physics C Update for the week of September 11, 2000

4. Journal Prompt for the Week of September 11, 2000:
If you had a Quintic model of time versus position, what would the function of velocity with respect to time look like? acceleration with 
respect to time?

Last week you should have done the following:
- Written in your Journal.
- Applied to join Mu Alpha Theta.
- Replied to last week's Update.
- Contacted at least 3 schools on their APPC policy.
- Read On Being....
- Turned in Lab Two with video and acetate.
- Explored the inside cover and Appendix of your book.
- Read Chapter 2
- Started Chapter 2 Problems.
- Turned in Problems page 8-10 (5,6,8,12,14-16,19,21,22,24,27,29,30,35,37).
- Turned in your Three Fermi Number calculations/estimates.
- Come to "know" Quiz Zero.

This week:
# Write in your Journal.
# Finish and submit Just Do IT!
# Do Problems page 28-35 (Part I: 1-7, 11, 16-17, 20, Part II: 33-38, 46, 52, 64-68, 73-74, 90, 94!)
# Take Examination I starting Wednesday the 13th.
# Start work on your Portfolio. Due Monday, September 18. Look for the Fodder List.
# Go to Lab 5 on Friday and Monday September 18 to work on your Portfolio.
# Consider being part of the Middle School Mathematics and Physics Presentation Team.
# Study Groups and old APPC Problems.
# BEST, the robot competition team will meet on Saturday morning at the UofA@F. See me if you wish to be a part of the project, and 
if you want to come to the Saturday meeting.
# Interested in high-tech devices so small you need a microscope to see them? Come learn about them from UA Physics Professor Ken 
Vickers.   He will talk about "Living Life in the Boundary Zone (where micro and nanoelectronics bridge science and engineering)" 
Thursday, September 14 at lunch in room 3202 (the Physics Classroom).  Bring your lunch.

The Lunch Schedule for the 3 Computer Labs: Lab 5 (3201) Monday and Wednesday; 1st Floor Lab (1107) Tuesday and Friday; and 
2nd Floor Lab (2102) Thursday. 

If you have questions or need some help, please see me, or one of your fellow students. See the Syllabus for information on how to get
