Alternate Assignment for Juno Project Extra Credit
Presentation after school that took place on Wednesday, 5/2/16: Write a 1-2 page research paper WITH WORKS CITED 1”
margins, 1.5 spacing, Times New Roman Font on the Juno mission if you wish to
do an alternate. Your paper should talk about what the mission is hoping to
accomplish in studying Jupiter, how it was launched, the basic orbital
trajectory that the spacecraft has taken over the past 5 years to get there,
and some basics about the mission electronics and sensors and what the
scientists will be looking for with those sensors. These were the topics of
Wednesday's talk. You can find resources at the following links. This is due
by Monday, 5/9/16 if you wish to get this extra credit. Students who attended
the presentation do not need to do anything. Your extra credit has already

Motion and Rotational Mechanics Test, Hewitt Chapters 9 and 11.
- Review
Hewitt Chapter 9 and Physics Classroom and Dr.
E Circular Motion Review PowerPoint for test on
circular motion/rotational mechanics. Also work more Circular Motion Problems if you need
to. Read over Lesson 2 a-c of Physics Classroom Circular Motion to get some
application-based problems.
- Also,
it is HIGHLY recommended that you look over your warmup problems again!
- Also,
it is HIGHLY recommended that you go over my lesson on Coriolis Force and
Effect Again. See the following links: Coriolis Effect video 1 and video 2, Angular Velocity, and Conservation of Angular Momentum, Coriolis Effect Over Earth’s Surface, Coriolis Effect and Wind Direction, Coriolis Effect and Ocean Surface Currents,
and Coriolis Effect on Earth and Jupiter.
Link to Slides 8-28 of Atmosphere in Motion PPT.
- Assemble
and score homework packets for circular motion: Download Rubric: To be
posted.
- Review
for test Tuesday by working Problems 1-3, 7-8, 11-16, 23-24, 27-28, and
37 of Circular Motion Problems. See Answers.
