Homework Due Monday, Feb 14

1) Watch a minimum of 4 gravitation videos of your choice and take a minimum of 3 pages of notes from the videos (write down the name of each video and then write your notes below)

Here is a website with a bunch on videos on gravitation:

I haven't seen them so I can't vouch for how interesting they are, but they will in the very least go over important concepts you'll need to know.  You pick the videos you want to watch based on the areas you think you need extra help with.  Watch a minimum of 4 videos but I'd recommend watching more. Take a minimum of 3 pages of notes from all the videos. 

2) Read "Pradnya's Objective Physics" document and write a minimum of a paragraph of notes
 
Read all pages of the document I've emailed you (except the parts which have been blacked out) and jot a minimum of a paragraph of notes.  Only write down things that you think will help you on a quiz - don't write stuff just for the sake of writing stuff.  I know parts of the text are difficult to make sense of but challenge yourself to try to follow along.  Even if you don't understand, read the entire thing.  Write a lot of questions in your notes about concepts from the text that you may not understand.  College textbooks are often difficult to understand so it's good practice learning how to read tough material.

3) Make up ten questions about gravitation based on the reading assignment. 

The questions can be of any format (fill in the blank, multiple-choice, problem solving) and a person should be able to answer the questions by reading the assignment.  Make the questions as difficult as possible because you'll be challenging your classmates to answer them in class and you'll score more points for writing questions that your classmates can't solve!  But, the catch is that you yourself have to be able to solve the questions and explain them in class. 

4) Solve the following sums in the multiple choice part at the end of the document:
3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11
 Show all work and ask for help if you're stuck - don't leave answers blank or give up on the questions.
