Today, we continued to solve problems related to work.
DO NOW:
1. What is the objective of today's class?
2. What is the equation for work?
3. Why does your weight change when you go up to the moon?
4. What force do you need to overcome to lift something? What force do you need to overcome to set something in motion?
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Last week's homework (HW Packet 1) is now due THIS WEDNESDAY.
CLASS WORK:
If you are in my 1st and 2nd period classes (and were in school last Wednesday), you guys worked on this Mixed Equations Worksheet. Write your answers to the problems IN YOUR NOTEBOOKS.
If you are in my 5th, 6th and 8th period classes OR you did not come to school last Wednesday, you should complete this handout. If you have trouble with the front, see the master notebook when you come back to class. I am unable to upload powerpoint at this time. When you are done with this handout, staple it into your notebook.

Today's objectives: (1) Distinguish between work and force (2) Solve problems involving work
We took 3 slides of NOTES today; they begin on slide 7:
CLASS WORK:
Station 1: Mr. Follman has a mass of 75kg. Calculate his weight in newtons on Earth.
Station 2: What's one difference between weight and mass?
Station 3: List the equations for work, weight, force, speed and velocity.
Station 4: Calculate the work you do when you pull a suitcase 20m across the room with a 5N force.
Station 5: A car slows down by applying a force of 200N over a distance of 50m. Calculate the work done by the brakes of the car.
Station 6: Calculate the work you do by lifting your 10kg backpack a distance of 3m into the air. Hint: Calculate the force of gravity on the backpack first.
HOMEWORK:

1. Match the following quantities to their appropriate units. A quantity can have more than 1 matching unit.
2. A fat cat crawls 10 meters in 5 minutes. What was the cat's average speed?
3. What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Station 2

Time (s) Distance (m)
0 0
5 10
10 20
15 20
20 40
2. During what time period (other than at time zero) is the runner motionless?
