Focus on:

1. Equation 4.2 Impulse-Momentum equation

2. Example 4.1 Impulsive spring

3. Definition 4.2 and Equation 4.7 Angular momentum for of Newton’s second law

4. Example 4.3 Calculating the angular momentum of a moving point mass

5. Example 4.7 Tetherball

6. Equations 5.6 and 5.16 and Table 5.1 Work-energy equation and potential energy

Choose three examples and discuss how kinematics (specifically the transport equation) were applied to describe the geometry of motion. Take a look at what the rest of the class writes and add some discussion points on a colleague’s interpretation.
