Physics Chap 2 Numbered Heads Review

Physics Chap 2 Numbered Heads Review


1. Form into the designated groups

2. Take out one full sheet of paper per group and list the name of the group at the top. Then list the names of the group members and place numbers next to each name (1, 2, 3…..If four members then write 4 also). It doesn’t matter who gets what number.

3. Hand the paper to the instructor. It will be used for assessment and graded.

4. Begin reviewing/ learning the listed concepts. Make up sample questions related to the concept. Try to imagine what question the teacher will ask. Time is limited; so don’t waste it!

5. Once you understand the concepts yourself locate the group members who do not understand  by assessing them. Do not ask yes or no assessment questions.

Good Assessment. “Sam, could you show me how to do number three on the list?”

Poor Assessment. “Do you guys all know it?”

Now teach them how to answer the questions you have formulated.  

6. When the instructor calls a number randomly (ex. = 3) the three will go to a designated area alone and respond to a similar question. Make sure they have something to write with and a calculator. After they leave begin studying the next set of concepts for the next round.

7. After a short amount of time the person will then return to the group and their answer will be graded by the teacher and given to the entire group as a communal score.

8. The returning group member may be called again so they should receive extra instruction to help get caught up.

9. The scores are added at the end to determine winners. The top three groups receive extra points on the test.


CHAP 2 Concept List


1.  Design and solve a math problem where vi  and   "a" are known and the car stops.  Find the stopping distance.


2.  Know  value for a due to gravity at every point in the path of a projectile

3.  Know how to calculate displacement   and distance travelled for a series of smaller displacements.

4.  Find time given "a"    and vf if starting from rest.
5.  Know direction of acceleration for a vehicle going west if it slows down.

6.  Find max height of a ball thrown up on earth given initial velocity.

7.  Definition of acceleration

8.  vector v scalar defs
9.  Find magnitude of  "a" if  starting from rest and vf  and  "d" are given
10.Find the skidding distance (braking distance)  to stop given initial speed and time.

11.  Interpret a d-t graph and  read the distance traveled and the displacement
12.  Interpret a d-t graph and describe the motion at various regions.   
13.  Using a v-t graph find the acceleration  at a specific time.  (Hint   ----The trick is that slope of a vt graph is acceleration at that moment)
