The first part of the tutorial is devoted to help with problem solving, focusing onthe following problems from our textbook:
1.41 (vector addition and subtraction),
2.9 (displacement, speed and velocity),
2.17 (acceleration),
2.29 (equations of motion for constant acceleration) and
2.63 (freely falling bodies).
(
These problems are from the 8th edition of our textbook. The corresponding questions in the 7th edition are: 1.36, 2.7, 2.70, 2.25 and 2.56.)
In the second part of the tutorial, there will be a test. No formula sheet will be provided, so you should make sure that you know the basic defiinitions in chapters 1 and 2, and the equations of motion for constant acceleration!
- Wednesday, September 28: The marks for tutorial 1 are now posted in the marks section of the course website.
- Sunday, October 2: Tutorial 2 will take place in your lab section thist week. It will be based on topics from chapters 3 and 4, up to and including section 4.5. The topics reviewed during the first part of the tutorial will be Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration in 2D, Projectile Motion, Relative Velocity and Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. The TA will help you with the following problems from our textbook:
Tutorial problems (8th edition): 3.7 (i.e., chapter 3, problem 7), 3.37, 3.61, 4.5 and 4.15.
