Forces and Motion
Physical Science
School Science concepts taught by Harjinder
The session reviewed free fall calculations and extensively covered Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia. The Tutor explained concepts such as net force, uniform motion, normal force, and different types of inertia using examples and practice questions. Future scheduling for upcoming sessions was also discussed.
Inertia: The Resistance to Change in Motion
Normal Force: A Contact Force
Understanding Net Force and Equilibrium
Newton's First Law of Motion: The Law of Inertia
Free Fall and Gravitational Acceleration
The session focused on the academic concept of free fall in Physics, covering its definition, the trajectory of objects in free fall, and the relationship between velocity and acceleration. Student and Tutor also analyzed the graphical representation of free fall using velocity-time graphs. They practiced two kinematics problems involving dropped and vertically thrown objects. The Student expressed interest in discussing Newton's laws and forces in the upcoming session.
Understanding Free Fall
Trajectory and Velocity Changes in Free Fall
Velocity-Time Graphs for Free Fall
Kinematic Formula Application in Free Fall
The Meaning of Negative Acceleration in Free Fall
The Student and Tutor reviewed recent college physics topics, including kinematics, motion diagrams, and lab work on acceleration using motion tapes. They practiced calculating velocity and acceleration from experimental data, and tackled a complex dimensional analysis problem involving astronomical distances and scientific notation. The Tutor recommended regular sessions to keep up with the fast pace of the Student's college course.
Acceleration on an Inclined Plane: g sin θ
Light-Year: An Astronomical Distance Unit
Dimensional Analysis & Unit Conversion
Scientific Notation
Analyzing Motion from Ticker Tapes
The student and tutor reviewed vector analysis, including interpreting motion graphs and performing vector addition in two dimensions. They practiced breaking vectors into components using trigonometry and applying the Pythagorean theorem and inverse tangent for resultant calculations. The next session will cover projectile motion.
Magnitude and Direction of Resultant Vector
Components of a Vector
Vector Addition in 2D
The Student and Tutor reviewed homework from their calculus-based physics unit, focusing on graphical analysis and the application of integration. They then delved into advanced kinematics, practicing how to use integration to find velocity and position when acceleration is not constant, and interpreting position-time graphs using derivatives and concavity. The Tutor assigned five practice questions for homework and planned to begin 2D motion in the next session.
Relating Kinematic Quantities via Calculus
Kinematics with Variable Acceleration
Essential Integration Rules for Kinematics
Position-Time Graphs: Velocity and Slope
Position-Time Graphs: Acceleration and Concavity
The Student and Tutor reviewed previous kinematics homework and graph interpretation, then moved into calculus-based physics. They discussed average versus instantaneous velocity and acceleration, practiced vector operations for change in velocity, and used derivatives to find instantaneous values. The Tutor assigned new problems focusing on these calculus applications, along with continued revision of earlier kinematics worksheets.
