To Do

• Start to do list
• Italicize definitions
• Make sure students know to ignore the first couple of lines of programming in python files
• Momentum Notes
  • Link when say vectors back to notes on vectors
  • Link to page with examples of momentum for slow moving and fast moving objects solved
• The Momentum Principle Notes
  • System and surroundings expanded on with diagram that fits into narrative and fan cart video
  • Record new fan cart video
  • Link to impulse example which is connected to the real world
• Constant Force Motion
  • Link back to vectors, net force and momentum principle when mentioned in the body of the text

• Write Examples
  • Calculating the momentum of a fast-moving object ($v \sim c$)
  • Calculating the momentum of a slow-moving object ($v \ll c$)
  • Calculating the net force
  • Calculating the change in momentum
  • Determining vector components
  • Calculating a unit vector
  • Comparing the two ways of determining average velocity
  • Predicting the location of a object undergoing constant velocity motion
  • Calculating the velocity of a plane using relative measurements
  • Predicting the location of an object undergoing constant force motion
  • Calculating the final momentum & velocity using the Momentum Principle
  • Predicting the final location of an object moving under a non-constant force
• Write Notes
  • Acceleration & The Change in Momentum
    • Finish the bit to motivate why acceleration?
    • Does this need an example?
  • Non-constant Force: Springs
  • Non-constant Force: Gravitation
• Determine where examples are needed for current note set
• Determine where lecture videos are needed for current note set
• Develop tutor notes for Project 2
• In momentum principle notes link forward to diagram in non constant force spring notes about the importance of time periods

• We need to start developing assessments (exams)
• Add clicker questions/notes for forces
• We need 4 new videos
  • 1 pre lecture video - define momentum and discuss momentum principle (Put in graph bit)
  • 1 pre lecture video - talk about the concept of gravitational force and how it relates to projectile motion - 3dimensions
  • 1 pre lecture video - constant force motion (Put in graph bit)
  • 1 pre lecture video - discuss difference between systems undergoing non constant and constant forces
  • 1 pre lecture video - break down newtonian gravitation especially its reciprocal nature.
  • 1 example video - applying the momentum principle
  • 1 example video - demonstrating the iterative prediction of motion

• Fan Cart Videos to keep:
  • 1 - const v (sdjsaxLfevQ)
  • 2 - const F (MAa7sYKa5GA)
  • 8 - F opp v to start (3Bi0uvqBL08)
  • 12 - const v; with accelerometer (LxxwPZ5Ocis)
  • 14 - const F; with accelerometer (HSZV2vBALtY)
  • 19 - F pop v to start; with accelerometer (-b03kUELJQc)

• For which problems, should we work the examples? Or should we generate new worked examples? Here's a sample. The audio is really low for some reason (and it's only 360p), but it uses the iPad, so it's quick. I can do more testing of the setup if we need to.

• Here's a better version, which I exported in a different way. I can record and export them after a higher res, so that YouTube will recognize them as 720p. The audio still sucks, but I'm not sure why.

• Screencast for modeling fan cart VPython
• Edits to VPython code (scaling, etc.)
  • Tutor notes for VPython Project 2 (Draw the motion maps/Compare to yesterday; does mass matter? - Test with code)
• Edits to Project 2C
• Graphs for positon and force (spring system)

• Lecture 3 - Momentum and Momentum Principle (mJlM82R35Zg)
• Lecture 4 - force versus Time (RXJ0XlcPBRg)
• Lecture 5 - constant force motion (FK5vyrOamhk)
• Lecture 6 - local gravitational force (0O5phTxadJc)
• Lecture 7 - predicting motion iteratively (DjOttBEMX74)
• Lecture 8 - Newtonian Gravitation (Pju9B5fyUEU)

• Holding Block Against a Wall
• Sliding to a Stop
• Two students colliding
• Deer Slug Example
• Walking in a Boat
• MIT Water Balloon Fight
• The Jumper
• Sledding
• Energy in a Spring-Mass System
• A Rebounding Block
• Thermal Equilibrium
• An Electric Heater

Rearrange the homework next year so that when we rearrange the questions (getting rid of the computational spring part and moving gravitational to being a two part)
