Second Assignment - Due Monday, Oct 15th: Chapter 3 problems 75, 81, 87, and 89. (Optional - not turned in: questions 2,13,21,24 and problems 23,33,37,45,55,64)
3rd Homework assignment is due Monday, Oct 22 Optional Problems: Chpt 4 questions 5,7,15,19 and problems 19,21,31,41,46,47 TO BE TURNED IN: Chpt 4 problems 63,67,69,73 (following problem solving guidelines - will be graded with rubric)
4th homework assignment due Wed, Oct 31: Optional problems from chapter 5: questions: 5,7,8,11 and problems 13,19,29,51,41,43. Required problems (to be turned in and done following the rubrics): 67,75,79,84
5th Hmwk Assignment Due Monday, 11/5 Optional problems from chapter 6: questions: 3,9,10,20 and problems 7,13,21,25,29,45. Required problems (to be turned in and done following the rubrics): 49,53,59,61
6th Hmwk Assignment Due Monday, 11/12 Optional problems from chapter 7: questions: 4,6,8,9,14 and problems 9,15,21,33,51,55. MODIFIED: Required problems (to be turned in and done following the rubrics): 11,63,67,70, 71. NOTE THAT problem 67 is a math problem and does not pertain to a particular physical situation - it does not really make sense to solve it using our problem solving guide and rubrics. I would like you to also do #70, but neither 67 nor 70 need to be done following the problem solving guide (that will make 5 problems be about the same length as your usual 4)
7th Hmwk Assignment Due Wednesday, 11/21 Optional problems from chapter 8: questions: 9,10,12,15 and problems 7,17,21,27,33,39,59. Required problems (to be turned in and done following the rubrics): 77,83,85,87
Chap 9 homework due Fri (the 30th). Optional problems: questions: 1,4,24,26 and problems 7,15,25,35,45,55. Required problems: 21 and 29 (not using rubrics), 85,95 and 105 (using rubrics)
