Physics I. Honors - Assignments
WEEK OF: November 3-14, 2009
CHAPTER 5. OBJECTIVES:
•Discuss the meaning of the expression conservative force.
•Understand the significance of a conservative force.
•Understand that the gravitational field is a conservative field.
•Understand that the spring force is a conservative force.
•Understand the relationship between work, energy, and power.
•Define and compare the units of the watt, kilowatt, and horsepower as they
are used to measure power.
•Demonstrate by example an understanding of the concept of power.
•Define impulse and momentum.
•Derive an equation illustrating the relationship of a change in momentum to
the impulse.
•Recognize that the area beneath a Force vs. Time curve is impulse and that
impulse is the change in momentum.
