- Assigned on 09/15: Invitation to APC |
The first meeting of the Advanced Physics Club (APC) is on September 22, 2019 (2:40 pm-4:00 pm). It will take place in the room P-122 of the Physics Building on the campus of Stony Brook University.
- Assigned on 09/22: Welcome Letter. | First meeting. Simple kinematics. |
Next time we continue with kinematics problems.
- Assigned on 09/29: Meeting 2: Simple kinematics. |
We considered a few problems on kinematics. Please, do the homework problem 1. The starred problem number 2 is a bit more challenging.
- Assigned on 10/6: Meeting 3: Kinematics. Motion with acceleration. |
We reviewed motion with constant acceleration and solved a few kinematics problems. There will be NO meeting on Sunday, October 13. The next meeting of APC is on Sunday, October 20, 2019.
- Assigned on 10/20: Meeting 4: Projectile motion |
- Assigned on 10/27: Meeting 5: Forces and accelerations |
- Assigned on 11/3: Meeting 6: Springs and Strings |
- Assigned on 11/10: Meeting 7: Static equilibrium. |
- Assigned on 11/17: Meeting 8: Static equilibrium. Ropes and pulleys. |
- Assigned on 11/24: Meeting 9: Friction force. |
There is no club meeting on December 1. The next meeting is on December 8, 2019. Happy Thanksgiving!
- Assigned on 12/8: Meeting 10: Uniform circular motion. Centripetal force. |
There is no club on December 15. The next meeting is on January 5. At the next meeting, we start preparing for the F=ma exam (scheduled for January 23, 2020). Try to solve the F=ma 2015 problems as good as you can. Please, e-mail us the most difficult problems to discuss at the next meeting.
- Assigned on 01/5: Meeting 11: F=ma exam. Circular motion, dimensional analysis. |
- Assigned on 01/12: Meeting 12: The energy and momentum conservation in collisions |
- Assigned on 01/19: Meeting 13: Small oscillations |
Good luck at F=ma exam!
- Assigned on 01/26: Meeting 14: Small oscillations. PhysicsBowl exam. |
- Assigned on 02/9: Meeting 15: Kepler's laws. PhysicsBowl competition. |
- Assigned on 02/23: Meeting 16: Rotation of rigid bodies. |
- Assigned on 03/8: Virtual meeting 17: Rotation of rigid bodies, F=ma exam solutions |
The club will not meet physically until the next academic year. We will continue by correspondence. The discussion of old problems and new assignments will be posted on this web site on Sundays. Feel free to send your solutions, questions, comments, ideas to apc@schoolnova.org .
- Assigned on 03/22: Virtual meeting 18: Rotation of rigid bodies. |
- Assigned on 03/29: Virtual meeting 19: Rigid body rotation. Gyroscopes. |
This assignment is the last one for this academic year. If you have any physics questions, please write to apc@schoolnova.org. Stay safe and healthy!
