Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong. ~~NOTOC~~ <WRAP round alert>This is the "pre-production" version of [[:183_notes|student-facing course notes page]]. Organize and make edits here before copying to student-facing page. Write all new notes in the 183_notes namespace, so that they are public by default, but hidden by lack of links. Remember students do not have access to this page because it is in a restricted namespace (course_planning), but do have access to the public namespace (183_notes).</WRAP> ====== Course Notes and Videos ====== Pre-class notes and video lectures are contained in the pages below. The material is organized by class week. Notice that some weeks (e.g., Week 2) have more readings and videos than others (e.g., Week 4), so please plan accordingly. We have tried to ensure that each week's pre-class work will take less than 1 hour. <WRAP round important> The organization of the course notes by week is a matter of convenience. It means that we do not expect you to have read about future material for the current week, but it does not mean that you will not go back and look at old material for current work.</WRAP> ==== Computational Modeling ==== The notes and videos on computational modeling will be useful throughout the course and should be viewed (at least once) during the first full week of the course. * [[:183_notes:vpython_resources|Software for Projects]] * [[:183_notes:modeling_with_vpython|Modeling Motion with VPython]] ==== Core Idea: Forces Cause Changes in Momentum ==== === Week 1 - Modeling Motion with No Net Force === * [[:183_notes:scalars_and_vectors|Scalars and Vectors]] * [[:183_notes:displacement_and_velocity|Displacement and Velocity]] * [[:183_notes:relative_motion|Relative Motion]] * [[:183_notes:graphing_motion|Graphing Motion]] === Week 2 - Modeling Motion with a Net Force === * [[:183_notes:momentum|Momentum]] * [[:183_notes:momentum_principle|The Momentum Principle]] * [[:183_notes:acceleration|Acceleration & The Change in Momentum]] * [[:183_notes:motionPredict|Applying the Momentum Principle]] * [[:183_notes:localg|Constant Force: Gravitational Force near Earth]] * [[:183_notes:constantF|Constant Force Motion]] * [[:183_notes:iterativePredict|Iterative Prediction of Motion]] * [[:183_notes:drag|Drag]] === Week 3 - Modeling Motion with Non-Constant Forces: Springs === * [[:183_notes:fbds|Free-body Diagrams]] * [[:183_notes:impulseGraphs|Impulse Graphs]] * [[:183_notes:springMotion|Non-constant Force: Springs & Spring-like Interactions]] === Week 4 - Modeling Motion with Non-Constant Forces: Newtonian Gravitation === * [[:183_notes:gravitation|Non-constant Force: Newtonian Gravitation]] * [[:183_notes:grav_accel|Gravitational Acceleration]] * [[:183_notes:ucm|Uniform Circular Motion]] ==== Core Idea: Atomic Interactions Give Rise to Macroscopic Phenomenon ==== === Week 5 - Modeling Contact Interactions: The Ball & Spring Model of Solids === * [[:183_notes:model_of_solids|Matter & Models of Solids]] * [[:183_notes:model_of_a_wire|Modeling a Solid Wire: springs in series and parallel]] * [[:183_notes:youngs_modulus|Young's Modulus]] * [[:183_notes:friction|Contact Interactions: The Normal Force & Friction]] ==== Core Idea: Forces Cause Changes in Momentum ==== === Week 6 - Modeling Curved Motion;
