There you will find class assignments, resources and a link to the Physics 116 site: http://www.physics.ucdavis.edu/Classes/Physics116/Physics116.html First Assignment: Read Bobrow, Ch. 1, 2 The first problem set will be assigned by Monday 9/27 and due Monday10/4 About the lab: The lab instruction sheet for the first lab is attached. In the future, you must download these from the class web site and print them for yourself. You will need to keep a clear record of your work in the lab along with the data you collect. Traditionally, this is done in a bound logbook, although there is a trend toward on-line electronic logbooks for some experiments. For this lab, you will use an 8.5” x 11” loose-leaf notebook of your choice (be sure to bring it to the first lab). This way you can turn in your notes from a given experiment as part of the lab report without losing access to the rest of the logbook. We encourage you to use quadrille-ruled paper (such as the Engineer’s Composition Pad available in the bookstore). This simplifies making tables, quick graphs and diagrams. Note that it is best to use only one side of the page with this paper. Each student must keep his/her own logbook, although data sheets can be shared between lab partners via photocopies. The TA will provide more
