Happy Pi-thon Day!
Happy Pi Day!!!
Today you will complete a tutorial on the basics of programming in Python. Each lesson module below has information on Python syntax and grammar with some interactive activities built in.
Writing Your First(!) Program
After you complete those four short lessons you should be able to complete the code to write a short program that will solve the Sizzle and Slice problem.
Gizmos Atwood Machine
An Atwood Machine is basically two masses hanging over a pulley. Did anyone do less to invent a “machine” than George Atwood?
Today you’ll be using a Gizmo to explore the workings of the wonderous Atwood machine.
Click here to log into Gizmos. You’ll need to use the username and password on the paper at the front of the room.
You can work with a partner to complete this activity. Just a reminder for many of you in CP Physics – a partner means ONE other person, not 9 people “working” together.
Calculating the Equilibrant Force
All of our force tables were built when Gover Cleveland was president, so they are a little old.
For this lab, you will be using a virtual simulation instead, but the process is the same as if we had the real thing.
Click here for the simulation.
