Mechanics Experiments
01 Exp #1-Z: Units and Conversions
This lab "experiment" is an introduction to physical units. I also use this time to review Vectors, Trigonometry, Geometry, and Algebra. These four subjects will be used for both semesters of physics. They are central to being able to do any physics problem in either semester.
02 Exp #1-A: Density
This lab "experiment" is designed to teach you how to make careful scientific measurements. Accuracy and precision are discussed.
03 Exp #3-C: Coplanar Forces
This experiment serves two purposes: 1) learn to use vectors, and 2) assimilate Newton's laws.
