Week of Jan. 21-25
We took a break from wind turbines this week to discuss the physics of circular motion. Specifically we looked at how some of the physics quantities we learned for linear motion are different when we talk about circles. We partially completed an animation which showed the variation in centripetal acceleration for different speed and radii. Then we completed some problems Q3 HW#3 which are on the documents tab.
Next up...torque and more energy!
