Physics 9-8-23 Free Fall HW Problems

PHYSICS: Here’s our look at the free fall homework – #32, 39, and 37, the ball thrown from the roof, the hiker dropping the first aid kit, and the first rocket problem.

Are you becoming more comfortable with working problems? When selecting formulas, it’s always a good idea to ask yourself “Why?”. Why can you use this formula? Why is it legit? Why is it the best one? Is there a better route to the solution? And then, continue to practice them over and over til it starts to become second nature!

Hon Chemistry 9-8-23 Graphing with Excel

HON CHEMISTRY: Today you are going to learn (or review) how to make graphs using Excel Online.

Here are the instructions for Friday. (You are going to be dreaming about graphs before long!!)

IMPORTANT: Your sample Excel graph must include a variable unit (either x or y) that has a superscript or a subscript in the unit. This is so you can practice doing this step. Your sample graph is due by the end of class today. Let me know if you need an extension. Don’t forget that also Graphing Exercise 2 is due on Monday by 8:00 A.M.

FIRST: You will be making your sample graph with Excel Online. Students can use this for free! Your first step is to sign in to your Office 365 account. Click here to log in https://www.office.com/  (If you haven’t signed up for a free Office 365 account with your school email, STOP and do that first. Instructions are on this weeks syllabus.) Using Excel online, you can do this assignment at school or at home and access it with your own computer, tablet, phone, etc.

FOR TODAY: Today your assignment is to make a sample Excel graph that you will eventually turn in to your Chemistry Shared folder. Click below if you need the files you need for today. You can also find these handouts under the Worksheet tab.

Checklist for a Good Graph

SAMPLE EXCEL GRAPH: Copy my data from the Excel Tutorial to use for your graph. Make the y axis Mass (g) and the x axis Volume (cm³). Follow the tutorial for instructions on how to make your sample graph. Read below for how to include superscripts and subscripts.

Excel Online Subscripts & Superscripts: If you ever need to add subscript or superscripts to the axis labels in Excel online, you can copy and paste whatever number you need from this set in to the axis title.
