Answer the following questions regarding this video. Pendulum [] H.W. 1. When is the velocity fastest? 2. When is velocity the slowest? 3. When there is no friction, why doesn’t the total energy change? 4. When is KE the highest? Why? 5. When is PE the highest? Why? [] Step 1. Set friction to max 2.Add a weight and look at the PE. Recall that PE spring = - kx2 where k is the spring constant and x is the distance from rest or no load. 3. Why is KE = to zero? 4. Set friction to none and note how KE, PE and Total E change.

Conclusion you should have determined from our Mag Lab
1. Turns vs. Field Strength http://www.regentsprep.org/Regents/physics/phys03/csolenoid/turns.htm (NOTE that this demo shows Electron flow which is the opposite of I=current flow. Current flow is "+" to "-") 2. Larger the core - greater the number of mag lines that can pass through the center of the coil and thus, better the electromagnet. 3. The right hand rule can determine the "north pole" of the magnet. = = = =

Newspaper Overcycle This is the continuous overcycle assignment unless you are informed otherwise.

The purpose of the Newspaper Overcycle is to foster proficiency in non-fiction reading. The student is to find a science article, read and comment on the article as though they were a newspaper reporter. More sites listed on a topic, the better the score. The assignment is completed when the student writes several paragraphs describing their conclusions about their chosen article.

= As of 3/1. Now we are on to phase two of our over-cycle work. You must now find and site TWO articles on the same subject. The authors may agree or disagree. Your job is to give a short summary on the views of both authors and then your opinion. =
