FHS Physics: March 2021

Tuesday - March 30th, 2021 (50/50 Virtual Block)

Daily Objective:

Students will describe the path of objects in simple harmonic motion and predict the velocity, acceleration, and force on an object at different points in that motion.

Bellwork:

On Earth, the period of a specific pendulum is measured to be T. The pendulum is taken to another planet where the acceleration due to gravity is double that of Earth's, and the pendulum's length is quadrupled. What is the exact affect on the period of the pendulum in terms of T?

Bellwork:

A spring (k = 85 N/m) is set horizontally on a table and is compressed 0.35 m to the left. A 0.255 kg mass is attached to the end and the spring is let go. If there is a constant frictional force of 0.52 N, what acceleration will the mass experience when the spring has moved 0.11 m toward its equilibrium position (assume the mass was just released and this is the first cycle of motion it has experienced).
