F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration) Newton's Second Law describes a universal relationship between the external, unbalanced force (F) acting on an object, the acceleration (a) of the object, and the mass (m) of the object. Newton's 2nd Law - LessonFrom the dynamics package you received in class; go through this guided lesson and then complete the two activities (solve simple questions with the equation and the 20 mark assignment). My audio on my computer doesn't work with windows 10 so I had to just take a picture of the note...sorry. I made a video, but it had no sound.

Today we are starting the Dynamics unit with an introduction to Newton's first of three very important laws. Today's law is the Law of Inertia (Newton's First Law).
Examples of Inertia
The Amazing Egg Trick!...not really a trick...and maybe not totally amazing...but still cool.Test day. Tomorrow we are doing a lesson on Newton's First Law of Motion - Inertia.
Introduction to DynamicsToday we are going to start the next unit: Dynamics - "the study of why things move." The title page and introductory powerpoint are included below. Watch the documentary on Newton as well. We are also continuing with the work and review for the kinematics test tomorrow. Be sure to complete the yellow sheet of questions and the package with 4 additional problems. Newton's Dark SecretsYour homework (or in class after you have completed the assignment) watch the video below and answer the questions on this sheet: Newton's Dark Secrets - Handout Today we are having a short quiz and then finishing the problem set.
Today we are working on the kinematics problems. The test is on Thursday. I will also provide a practice test and quiz to further assist you with the work.
Kinematics Equations - DevelopmentToday we are working on developing the 5 kinematics equations on your own. Tomorrow we will write out these five equations and also use them to solve problems.
This comes in three parts. Part A are the basic types, Part B involve more thinking and Part C involve more complicated type problems. You are expected to solve all 15 in preparation for the upcoming evaluations.
Today we are performing a uniform acceleration investigation. You can download the investigation sheet below.
Finding accelerations and distances using equations and by analyzing graphs.
