LON-CAPA HW 2

August 30, 2021

HW no. 2 will be available Tuesday Aug. 31 9 pm. It is due Tuesday. Sept. 7, 9pm. There are a couple of issues:

 

  • Prob. 1, "experienced" is misspelled
  • Prob. 2, the unit for acceleration should be m/s^2
  • Prob. 5, LON-CAPA may not accept your correct answer for the angular direction of the vector. You need to understand what your calculator reports and then you may need to trick LON-CAPA, depending on what quadrant your vector is in. Don't worry, I will correct scores if you deplete all six tries.
  • Prob. 7, LON-CAPA again will not accept the correct angle. Add 180 deg. Or you can view this as the angle to go from Lake B to base camp.
  • Prob. 8, use m for the unit for part 2.
