| Content: |
| |
| Address questions regarding Assignment #9. |
| |
| Introduce the concepts of polar coordinates, and normal and tangential coordinates based |
| on discussions presented in R/S Chapter 13 (pp. 54-68). |
| |
| Example problem 13-10 in R/S on pp. 55-56 presents a good example of the use of polar |
| coordinates. |
| |
| Example problems 13-12 and 13-13 on pp. 63-63 present good examples of the use of |
| normal and tangential coordinates. |
| |
| Worked Problem Set #10 presents another example problem. |
| Skills/Objectives: |
| |
| Understand the use of polar, and normal and tangential coordinates. |
| Assessment: |
| |
| Homework Set #10: Work problems 13-103, 107, 119, 121, 124, 125, 137 and 138 |
| (due on Day 11). |
| Resources: |
| |
| R/S Chapter 13 (pp. 54-68). |
| Notes: |
| |
| The solution to each problem MUST include a units table, all necessary system diagrams, |
| all necessary conservation tables, and then the solution. While this material should be a |
| review of material presented in Physics, it is important to do a good job presenting it to |
| the students - particularly with respect to the polar coordinate sign convention. |
| Advanced Organizers: |
| |
| Read R/S Chapter 13 (pp. 54-68). |
