A new 12 question assignment has been posted on the UT site. IT is due at 10:00 pm on Jan 2, the last night of your break.
To prepare for the assignment you should follow this link to a video lecture by Walter Lewin who is an engaging MIT professor. The lecture lasts for most of an hour and gives you a sense for a college physics class, albeit a great one. In a part of this lecture he digresses extensively into Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. You can ignore this part for now, though we will return to the ideas. You should also look to chapters 7 and 8 in your textbook for explanations and sample problems. Much of sections 7 and 8 (and the material in the lecture) we will cover after you return, though it is good to read them in advance. The homework questions will largely come from the first parts of both chapters.
I will check my PPS email over the break, but not every day probably.
Good Luck.
