VERY LIMITED USE OF CANVAS

PHYS 2210-01 and -10 will be run out of a course web page and SmartPhysics

PHYS 2210-01 and -10 will NOT be using CANVAS (i.e. NO CONTENT on CANVAS), Except for

– posting midterm, final exam, and final grades (SmartPhysics has no facility for importing exam grades)

– Communications with the instructor (via CANVAS message system)

– In class Canvas Poll on you IOS or Android phone or tablet … sorry windows not supported (yet?)

You MUST be enrolled in one of the discussion sections, section 2-9 or 11-18. The only way to enroll in Physics 2210-01 or 2210-10 is through enrollment in a discussion section. You are required to attend the discussion section in which you are enrolled. Discussion sections meet on both Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Topics to be Covered Part I: Linear Dynamics: 1. 1-D Kinematics 2. Vectors and 2-D Kinematics 3. Relative and Circular Motion 4. Newton's Laws 5. Forces and Free-Body Diagrams 6. Friction

Part II: Conservation Laws 7. Work and Kinetic Energy 8. Conservative Forces and Potential Energy 9. Work and Potential Energy: Part II 10. Center of Mass 11. Conservation of Momentum 12. Elastic Collisions 13. Collisions, Impulse, and Reference Frames

Part III Rotational Dynamics: 14. Rotational Kinematics and Moment of Inertia 15. Parallel Axis Theorem and Torque 16. Rotational Dynamics 17. Rotational Statics 18. Rotational Statics: Part II 19. Angular Momentum 20. Angular Momentum Vector and Precession

Part IV: Oscillations and Waves 21. Simple Harmonic Motion 22. Simple and Physical Pendula 23. Harmonic Waves and the Wave Equation 24. Waves and Superposition

• At the request of the Dept. of Physics, The TA’s will administer short assessments during Discussion Section on Tue. Aug 25, and will be returned to you on Thu. Aug 27.

• There will be a PHYSICS test and a MATH test • I will discuss the results in class later this week. • Based on the result of this test you may wish to drop this class and

take PHYS 1500 as preparation for 2210 instead.

• If you never had a high-school physics course or equivalent then the Dept. of Physics recommends that you take PHYS 1500 instead.

• If you never took calculus you SHOULD NOT be taking this class. • Taking both 2210 and 2220 at the same time is academically suicidal.

Assessment Test on Tue. Aug 25

Midterm Exams

MIDTERM EXAMS Dates Midterm Exam 1 Fri, Sep 18 Midterm Exam 2 Fri, Oct. 09 Midterm Exam 3 Fri, Nov. 06 Midterm Exam 4 Fri, Dec. 04

• All midterm exams are in FMAB during regular class time (50 minutes).

• You must take the exam during your registered lecture time.

• We will take the best 3 of 4 midterms. • NO make-up exams. Missing an exam

counts as zero score.

• The final exam for this course is NOT given by the usual class-time table

• The final for PHYS 2210, Fall 2015 is on

Tue, Dec. 15 at 3:30-5:30 p.m. • Locations: TBA (the University does not let us schedule

final exam rooms until well into the semester).

This is a University departmental scheduled exam with separate scheduling from the usual exam schedule given at http://registrar.utah.edu/academic-calendars/final-exams-fall2015.php (see bottom of that page)

Final Exam

Allowed: •Ordinary (including graphing) calculators •One 3” × 5” index card of formulae (both sides) for midterms, one 8.5” × 11” sheet (both sides) for the final exam Not allowed: •Any electronic device with communications capabilities, •Any textbook, notes, or any document printed or written.

Midterm Exam regrading: You must fill out a regrade form (downloadable from Course Web Page) for each problem you want to have regraded. Submit this with the original exam page to your discussion TA. The original grader will then receive it and regrade the whole problem

Beware that we randomly scan exam papers for comparison

Exam Rules

For PHYS 2210, we use: 1. Online Pre-Lectures (animated lessons, completed

before lecture)

2. Online Check-Points (quizzes to check knowledge, completed after lecture)

3. Lectures (derivations, examples, demos)

4. Online homework exercises

5. Printed textbook

smartPhysics Course

You will VIEW PreLectures before class.

Use of smartPhysics

Next, you’ll complete a CheckPoint quiz after lecture to CHECK your understanding of the PreLecture.

How we’ll use smartPhysics

Next, you must complete assigned homework problems.

*Each assignment contains multiple problems, and each problem can contain multiple parts

Printed Textbook

READ the Textbook as needed for review. It is designed to compliment the smartPhysics web site (www.smartphysics.com).

There are two volumes available: Mechanics ISBN: 1-4292-7270-6 Electricity and Magnetism: ISBN: 1-4292-7239-2

• My Lecture Notes for PHYS 2210 from 2003 (handwritten, based on Wolfson and Pasachoff, Physics for Scientists and Engineers) http://www.physics.utah.edu/~jui/notes-phys2210-2003.zip

• “College Physics” from “Openstax College” – Algebra based open-source textbook (none exists yet for

calculus-based) – Google search “openstax college physics” https://openstaxcollege.org/textbooks/college-physics

Possibly Useful Online References

Go to half.com or other used book vendor and order a used, ~10 year old edition of one of the following standard textbooks 1. Tipler and Mosca, Physics for

Scientists and Engineers (vol. 1 example shown)

2. Serway and Jewett, Physics for Scientists and Engineers

3. R. Wolfson and J. Pasachoff, Physics for Scientists and Engineers.

4. Halliday, Resnick and Walker, Fundamentals of Physics

5. D. Knight, Physics for Scientists and Engineers .

Supplemental Textbook

You should be able to get a reasonably good volume for less than $20.

Tentative Course Schedule

Tentative Course Schedule (subject to change) is centered around the first 24 units of the Mechanics part of SmartPhysics See Course Calendar (in smartPhysics) for deadlines of: 1. Pre-lectures (blue) 2. Check-Points (Green) 3. Homeworks (Red)

There is one of each for every unit

• We will be using “Polls for Canvas” (early release) for in-class polls – Available for ANDROID and IOS phones and tablets https://guides.instructure.com/m/22678/l/237896-what-is-the-polls-for-canvas-app

• In this course I will be working some of the examples using a computer algebra system called “Maxima” – Created in the late 1960’s – early

1970’s by the Department of Energy by a team that included Stephen Wolfram (founder of Mathematica)

• Students are encouraged to try “Maxima” – Current version is a free package

available for: • Windows, Linux, MacOS • Android but NOT IOS (iphone and ipad) • Online version for almost any browser

Computer Algebra System

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ Google search for “maxima algebra”

Downloading Maxima

http://maxima.sourceforge.net/download.html

The installation programs will install two programs 1. xmaxima 2. wxmaxima

For simple tasks like what we do in this class: xmaxima is the one we want to use.
