Overview
You can work with a partner on this lab.
Read the Lab 3 Classical Mechanics lab in the online lab manual. Your assignment this week is to complete one of three options. Your first two options are to perform the classical motion experiments of Galileo using objects around your living quarters (and maybe the structure itself). For options 1 and 2, you will arrange your experiment, make measurements with a stop watch (on phone), record your data, and do some basic analysis. If you can't build either of the experiments in your environment, your third option is to do problem solving related to classical mechanics. Remember, you only have to pick one of the options.
Here's some pointers on how to turn in Options 1 or 2:
- See lab manual p. 71-78 (VitalSource pages) for detailed instructions on Option 1 or Option 2 turn in

For Option 3 (math problem solving): (the online lab manual is confusing due to a publishing /editing error) See below to complete.
