• Assigned on 09/15: Length scales in Nature and Scientific Notation  |  A solution to Problem 1 from the Homework  |  
  
• Assigned on 09/22: Introduction to Speed  |  
  
• Assigned on 09/29: Speed and Velocity in 1D: Speed and Velocity  |  
  
• Assigned on 10/6: Instantaneous speed and velocity: Instantaneous speed, Instantaneous velocity  |  
  There was an error in the printed handouts that I distributed in class. The error was in the bonus problem, in which it states the "average velocity" of the car. It should say "average speed", as it is in the corrected version uploaded here.
  
• Assigned on 10/20: Acceleration: Introduction to acceleration  |  
  This homework is due on 11/03. That is, you will have two weeks to work on it.
  
• Assigned on 10/27: Acceleration: Introduction to acceleration  |  
  Same homework as last week. This time it will be due next class.
  
• Assigned on 11/3: More on Acceleration: More problems on acceleration in a line  |  
  
• Assigned on 11/10: Vectors: First introduction to vectors  |  
  The homework is due in two weeks. The "O" in the compass rose stands for West.
  
• Assigned on 11/17: Vectors: Displacement and Velocity as vectors  |  
  The homework is the one posted in the previous handout, not this one.
  
• Assigned on 11/24: Newton's Laws: Forces, mass, and acceleration  |  
  
• Assigned on 12/8: Newton's Laws Continued: Now we will play with the three laws  |  
  
• Assigned on 12/15: Work and Kinetic Energy: A first introduction to the concept of energy  |  
  
• Assigned on 01/5: Work and Kinetic Energy: Definition of work and kinetic energy  |  
  
• Assigned on 01/12: Potential Energy: Definition of Potential and Mechanical Energy  |  
  
• Assigned on 01/19: Energy continued: Mechanical energy=potential energy+kinetic energy  |  
  
• Assigned on 01/26: Thermal Energy: Introduction to temperature and heat  |  
  
• Assigned on 02/2: Internal Energy: Continuation of internal energy  |  
  
• Assigned on 02/9: Introduction to electricity: Charge and its role in static electricity  |  
  
• Assigned on 02/23: Electric Field: Electric field and electric field lines  |  
  The homework is due in two classes. Next class the concepts of electric field and electric field lines will be covered.
  
• Assigned on 03/8: Forces in the electric field: A charge in an electric field feels a force!  |  
  I updated the handout to include more examples of electric field lines, as well as including an additional detail required to solve problem 1 of the homework.
  
• Assigned on 03/22: Electric potential: An electric analogy to potential energy  |  
  
• Assigned on 03/29: Potential energy in the electric field: Potential energy for positive and negative charges  |
