PHYSICS WORKBOOK
under construction. PLease be patient.
(Mrs. Lankar, PhD)

(source cartoon: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~draperg/cartoons/physics122.html)
High School Physics is covered in 2 years.
Level I for 10th graders. You need Algebra I
Level II for 11th graders. You need Algebra II and trig.
materials : notebook (take notes ! ), internet connection (and a computer, of course)
graph papers, protractor, RULER, TI 83 or TI 84, ruler in cm and your enthusiasm ..
students: Some of the pages are best seen using FIREFOX.
I can also send you the original document by email.
Physics guide from Trevor Day. Use it  for independent study
See books below too. I am still working on the pages, please be patient.
LEVEL I  
Main idea: Use graphs to derive relationsip between physical quantities		 LEVEL II
Main idea: Work in 2D using Trig. and vectors
Graphing 1              graph papers Math -  trigonometry and vectors in 2D
Graphing 2         Statics - equilibrium in 2D -  lab: table force
Vectors in 1D Dynamics - Newton's 2nd law in 2D - lab
Kinematics 1 - deriving the equations using graphing Projectile motion - lab free-fall and projectile
Kinematics 2 - equations of motion : how to use them Torques in 2D: Lab only
Kinematics 3 - application : Free-Fall Circular motion in 2D   lab centripetal force
2 important forces: weight, frictional forces  Keplers' Laws : only lab. polar graph paper
                                        use: 50, 36, 365
