Physics I [Phys 161]                              Spring 2004 Assignment #3 Reading, Vocabulary & Objectives A. Availability and Due Dates Assignment #3 is available Monday, February 2, 2004.  The target date for its successful completion is Wednesday, February 11, 2004.  In any event, all problems from Assignment #3 must be successfully completed and turned in by 5:00 pm on Wednesday, February 25, 2004.  If this requirement is not met, the student will not be allowed to take Exam 2, to be given in class on Friday, February 27, 2004.   B. Reading As preparation for completing the problems in Assignment #3, read Chapter 4 in Serway & Jewett. C. Vocabulary As part of Assignment #3, the following vocabulary words must be understood and memorized in addition to those already listed on Assignments #1 and 2: Projectile Motion, Centripetal Acceleration, Centripetal Force, Frame of Reference, Tangential Acceleration, Tangential Force, Tangential Speed, Classical Relativity, Galilean Transformation, Uniform Motion, Uniform Circular Motion, Radial Speed, Radial Acceleration. D. Objectives In addition to the Objectives already listed as part of Assignments 1 and 2, the student should Know the definitions of those quantities listed in the vocabulary section above. Have memorized the value of the speed of light in vacuum, c. Be comfortable taking derivatives of functions including only simple powers, those containing trigonometric functions, and those containing combinations of the two. Be able to use chain rules as appropriate to take derivatives of nested expressions. Be comfortable with kinematics in 2 or 3 dimensions. Understand the ideas behind Classical Relativity, also called Galilean Relativity. Understand the details of Uniform Circular Motion.  Specifically, the student should be able to explain the relationship between the velocity and acceleration vectors for an object undergoing uniform circular motion (qualitatively and quantitatively, magnitude and direction). Understand the meaning of the objects .
