AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment 2017 Bayonne High School

Transcription

1 AP Physics 1 Summer Assignment 2017 Bayonne High School AP Physics 1 is an algebra based physics course through which one would develop a deep conceptual understanding of how the physical world works. Concepts from Algebra and Geometry are used in this course, so summer is a good time to review these concepts. You will be manipulating algebraic equations without numbers and use basic trigonometry when problem solving. You will also start studying Kinematics the study of motion using Physicsclassroom.com. Following is a summer assignment, which is to be turned in on the first day of school. Set aside 30+ hours, evenly spread through the summer to do this. You will take a quiz based on the summer assignment in the first week of school. It is important that you do all work by yourself and understand what you are doing. It is a good practice to ask for help after you have tried enough, but copying someone else's work is plagiarism and has historically led to poor results. In this course, concepts in Mechanics (Kinematics, Forces, Two Dimensional Motion, Momentum, Energy, Rotational Motion, Vibrations and Waves) and Simple Electrical Circuits (basic Electrostatics and DC Circuits) are developed through labs, followed by problem solving. You will communicate your ideas with your peers and the instructor through discussions and in writing. Active participation during class and about 5 hours of homework per week are expected for this class. We use the textbook College Physics by Randall Knight and Workbook 1 that goes with this textbook. You will receive a textbook, a workbook and an online copy of another textbook, College Physics by Etkina, to keep during the school year. Following online resources can be used as references for this course, besides the class work and the textbook. 1. Physicsclassroom.com ( The tutorial section of this site is like an online textbook, complete with explanations, animations and questions. 2. HyperPhysics ( astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html) This site has the physics concepts presented in a concept map. You will be able to trace a concept or a principle in physics using the map. The site has great explanations and solved examples physics- 1- video- list This site has a set of YouTube videos by Mr. Anderson for AP Physics 1 class. Mr. Anderson s explanations are thorough and promote deep understanding of concepts.

4 Right Triangle Activity In this activity you will find patterns that lead to relationships in the sides and angles of a right triangle and define the patterns using math functions. Consider the right triangles A, B F in the following figures. A B C Figure 1 D E F Figure 2 Label the angle between the base and the hypotenuse as θ (pronounce thay- tah ) in Figure 1 and as Φ (pronounce figh ) in Figure 2. For a right triangle the side opposite to the angle being considered is called the opposite and the side adjacent to the angle is called the adjacent. We're interested in finding the following ratios as the lengths of the sides changes, keeping the same angle. For each of the triangles A to F, measure the three sides using a ruler; calculate the ratios using a calculator and record below. Measure each side in centimeters, to the nearest 0.1 cm. Record all ratios to the nearest 0.01 cm. Triangle Length of the adjacent side A Length of the opposite side Length of the hypotenuse Ratio (o / h) Ratio (a / h) Ratio (o / a) B C D E F Page 4 of 17

5 Notice that there is a pattern in the ratios. Describe the pattern in your own words in the following space. Now use your scientific calculator to determine the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle θ and angle Φ. This is done using the sin, cos, or tan keys on your calculator. For example, let s say θ = 30 and you want to find the sine of 30. Depending on your type of calculator, you will either push the sin button and then type 30, or type 30 and then press the sin button. If you have done it correctly, the display should read 0.5 as an answer. Be sure that your calculator is set to the DEGREE mode. Check if the ratios you found in the previous activity make sense.
