• **Attempt all problems before Thursday Problem Session**.
• Include solutions to ALL TEXT PROBLEMS in your Problem Set Notebook; Workbook problems can stay in the Workbook (no Workbook problems this week).
• Submit bold underlined problems via MasteringPhysics by 9pm Sat. Nov. 21.
• This week’s set was posted later than usual and has been shortened accordingly.

REMINDER: Thursday’s Chemistry Lab is in Lab II 1241.

Chemistry Lab 6: Synthesis of Aspirin including Pre-lab, Experiment Procedure, and Post-lab is available here.

The Pre-lab should be completed in your chemistry lab notebook and checked off at the beginning of Lab at 9 am on Thursday, Nov. 19th. Please read through the entire lab, including the Post-lab, before Thursday morning.

As a precaution against the risk of container failure during Tuesday’s Physics Lab, please bring your Lab Safety Goggles.

Also, please note that Thursday’s Chemistry Lab will be moved to Lab II 1241. This allows us better access to ventilation hoods and warmer temperatures.

For Week 8 Physics:

• Read Ch 10.7, Ch. 11 (skip 11.9).
• Access Reading Response via MasteringPhysics.
• Ch. 10.7 & Ch. 11 Learning Objectives
  0. (continuing objectives) I: Be able to work in and switch between verbal, pictorial, graphical, and algebraic/symbolic representations. II: Connect and apply concepts and methods of physics to other disciplines, particularly math and chemistry.
  1. For problems involving collisions, apply conservation of momentum during the collision, and conservation of mechanical energy before and after the collision (where appropriate) to solve for unknowns. For elastic collisions, use both conservation of momentum and conservation of mechanical energy (or alternately the equivalence between speed of approach and speed of recession) to solve for unknowns.
  2. Extend the Basic Energy Model and its connection to the First Law of Thermodynamics to include thermal energy as an energy transformation within the system and energy transfers between system and environment in the form of work.
  3. Use the dot product in both unit vector form and in magnitude and direction form.
  4. State and use the definition of work. From a given force and the motion of an object, calculate the work done on the object by that force. Estimate or calculate the work done during one-dimensional motion by determining the area under a force-vs-displacement graph or by integration.
  5. Apply the various forms of the Work-Kinetic Energy Theorem to a moving object subject to one or more forces.
  6. State the definition for potential energy and describe the types of forces with which a potential energy may be associated. For a given potential energy vs. position graph or function, calculate the corresponding force.
  7. For problems where mechanical energy is not conserved, relate the change in mechanical energy to the work done by non-conservative forces.

For Week 8 Math:

• Read 4.1, 4.2, 4.3
• Access Reading Response via WileyPLUS.
• Learning Objectives
  0. (continuing objectives) I: Be able to work in and switch between verbal, numerical/tabular, graphical, and algebraic/symbolic representations. II: Interpret and solve increasingly complicated questions involving derivatives. III: Connect and apply concepts and methods of calculus to other disciplines, particularly physics and chemistry.
  1. Given a function (its equation or graph), use first and second derivatives to determine where the function is increasing or decreasing, concave up or concave down, along with the values for critical points, inflection points, and local and global maxima and minima.
  2. Construct a mathematical model for a given scenario looking for maximum or minimum values, and solve the corresponding optimization problem.
