[edit] Si Units

Force = Newtons (N) Pressure = Pascals (Pa) Acceleration = meters per second per second (m/s2

[edit] Force

Moving a block with your hand work done on the object

[edit] = Acceleration

riding a bike

[edit] Momentum

  1. inelastic collision (billiards type)
  2. elastic collision (both go together)

[edit] Energy

  1. Kinetic energy (motion)
  2. Potential energy (stored motion)
  3. magnetic energy(attractive motion)

[edit] Electricity

-Materials: batteries, wires,

  1. Current vs. Voltage: the pipe analogy
  2. Ohms law: metal (conductors) vs. rubber (insulators)
  3. Series circuits (part 1 of the circuits experiment)
  4. Parallel circuits (part 2 of the circuits experiment)
  5. Voltaic Cells - Making electrochemical batteries. (File: Lab - Juicy Fruit.pdf)
