Dates of Assignment: November 3-12, 2009

Chapter 5. Objectives:  Circular Motion and Gravitation
•State the conditions that are necessary for uniform circular motion. 
•Understand how acceleration is possible without a change in speed. 
•Show that all circular motion equations are dimensionally correct. 
•Apply understandings of centripetal force to examples of motion in 
 a vertical circle.

Dates of Assignment: November 13-24, 2009

Chapter 6. Objectives: Work and Energy
•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.

  collisions. 
•Apply the Law of Conservation of Linear Momentum to problems involving
  colliding bodies.
