PHYSICS 185GENERAL INFORMATIONLECTURER A . FARIDILOCATION ROOM 202 OF THE LEWIS CENTER. TELEPHONE (714) 432 - 5888CLASS SCHEDULE MTWTH: (12:450 2:50)p.m., Lewis 201 WTH: (Lecture-Lab):( 12:45-2:50 , 3:00- 6:10) pm Lewis 206 TEXT: PHYSICS ( VOL 1) 5th EDITION By: Resnick, Halliday and Krane {In addition, you must also have the student solution manul (Vol 1, by: P. Stanley) which may prove to be useful}. COURSE FORMAT and DESCRIPTION The main topics in this course are those described in chapters(1- 19) of your text . Attempts will be made to give some lecture demonstrations of the physical principles. Often such demonstrations are done in Laboratory sessions. HOME WORKYou are advised to work on all of the assigned home work problems which all are in your student solution manual.The complete solution to some of these problems are all given in your STUDENT SOLUTION MANUAL. Also, look into the on line hand outs at: http://occonline.occ.cccd.edu/online/afaridi .

NOTE:DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SOLVE ANY ASSIGNED HOMEWORK PROBLEM BEFORE YOU ARE CONFIDENT OF REPRODUCING THE WORKED-OUT EXAMPLES OF YOUR TEXT, AND THE EXAMPLES GIVEN DURING LECTURES EXAMS and GRADE DISTRIBUTION There will be two (2) exams and a possible comprehensive final exam. EXAM 1 THURSDAY July 2nd , 2015 Chapters1-6) EXAM 2 THURSDAY , July 23rd 2015 Chapters(6-12) Final Exam: THURSDAY August 6th , 2015 ( 12:45 -2:50)pm, Chapters (To be decided). EXAM 1= 26% 0f { A }, Exam 2= 26% of { A} , Final Exam = 28% of { A}. Lab Grade is 20% of the course grade. In the event of having to take a comprehensive final, then each of the two exams already taken will count a LOWER % of the course grade; and the comprehensive final will carry a Higher % of the overall grade, depending on the nature of the final exam!! ALL EXAMS MUST BE TAKEN. An exam that is not taken for any unknown reason will have " 0" as its grade.No letter grade is given to any particular exam. Your final course grade is determined on the basis of the accumulated points. This method of grading is to your advantage( without a doubt!!). With these points in mind, a generously curved-up grade distribution takes the form: A = 88%, B = 78% , C = 68% , D =45 %, F+- = (- .to 44)!!! PLEASE OBSERVE :(a) You will have No opportunity to make up a missed exam; except for the highly unexpected situations. (There exists no makeup exam for the final exam) Moreover, the missed exam(if allowed) should be taken during the next few days following the date of the missed exam. Need to inform your instructor about the mixed exam In advance.(b) The only allowable notes to be used ( if admissible) during an exam period is your own one-page (and not micro-spaced), formulae sheet and a simple calculator. Books ,notes , note books, notepads, cell phones,, solution to problems in any form are all put away by the class room wall to be picked up after the exam.(c) Verbal or non-verbal communications during an exam period is recommended to be viewed as " UNDESIRABLE", and should be avoided. There are some severe consequences if caught cheating.

PHYSICS 185 LABORATORYGENERAL INFORMATIONINTRODUCTION: Q: Why do we need to make experimental measurements?A: When you can measure what you are talking about and express it in numbers, then you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, and cannot express it in numbers, then your knowledge of it is of meager significance and at best it is unsatisfactory.SOME GENERAL SAFETY RULES:It is essential to keep in mind that your safety and the safety of others in the laboratory is not a simple matter to ignore.Most likely, every time you enter a laboratory session, you will see equipments on the laboratory tables and/or on the benches. It is best not to exercise your curiosity by playing with the equipments at all.Hence: Do not touch, play or turn on any laboratory equipment until it has been explained and the permission has been given by your instructor. More over, there are situations in which you may not be aware of the inherent dangers associated with certain laboratory equipment. For example: A mercury lamp(Source of UV- Radiation; eye damaging rays), or a radioactive source(either in solid form or in liquid form)if faulty, both can be harmful. The same kind of situation may arise in cases involving heat and electrical current.In all such cases, the lack of knowledge about the equipment may cause serious harm if proper care is not taken.Hence: You should ask your instructor about the safety of a procedure before applying that procedure. As a safety measure, it is recommended that any experimental set-up should be checked by your instructor prior to its operation. LABORATORY REPORTS A laboratory report is to be completed for each experiment for which data are collected and initialized by your instructor Each and every single laboratory report is expected to follow the format as outlined below.(a) The space on the first page of each one of your laboratory report corresponding to a particular experiment, is limited to the following information:

PHYSICS 185 EXPERIMENT# ( ): Galileo &the Pendulum, Author: Screamer Anthony S SID#( the last 4 digits ) ----------------------- -------------------- ---------- -------------------- LAST NAME FIRST NAME M I.D. Number LAB-SECTION WTH:(3:00 - 6:10)p.m Lewis 206 LAB- PARTNERS NAMES: 1.---------------------------, 2. ----------------------, 3. -------------------- 4. -------------------------, 5. ----------------------, 6. --------------------- (b) The next page is where you write down the objectives of your experiments.This page regardless of whether the objective is long or short is set aside for the sole purpose of writing the purpose of the experiment. (c) Immediately following the objective page, is where you place your signed Data sheet. ( The data sheets are the only sheets that should be written in pencil). A single experiment may contain several parts generally denoted by:Part A, Part B, Part C, . This implies :(d) Detailed computation for each part of an experiment is required. For example, all the necessary computations allowing you to complete your error analysis must explicitly be shown.(e) Conclusions :Once you have completed all of the required computations, and have all of the requested graphs for an experiment, you are then ready to write up your conclusion about the experiment. Generally an error of about 5% of the theoretical ( if available) value is acceptable; and an error of the form: 5%< E < 10%, is reasonable, while an error > than 10% is simply unacceptable. Here you can discuss the possible sources of error to justify your results.SOME ADDITIONAL NOTES ABOUT THE LAB:Note1:We shall carry out as many experiments as possible , arranged in sets of two(2) labs. Each set of two experiments takes 0ne weeks to complete. Following the week of experimentation, you will have one(1) week to complete your Lab-Report before you turn them in ( For example if you are done with the first two experiments by July 13th , then you should turn in your completed set of two labs by the end of the lab hour on July 20th). All of the two labs though, separate from one another must be put in one single folder. Note 2: It is expected that each laboratory report is well organized and well written. All of the non-equation texts of each one of your laboratory reports should be typed ; and the hand-written equations must be neat and clean.Note3: All Laboratory reports must be turned in on time, and any late lab report ,(if accepted ) will carry a maximum of 10-points at most.Note 4: In the event you missed a lab due to some explainable unexpected situation, you are to make up the missed lab during the very same week in which the lab is offered. The chances that you successfully complete a missed Lab alone are very low; as each one of these lab requires two to three people to perform. Therefore, I encourage you to avoid missing any lab (Any missed laboratory experiment that has not been completed for an unknown reason will be awarded a grade of absolute zero) Note 5: Communications among yourself which lead to a better understanding of the conceptual basis of an experiment, is highly encouraged. However, it is expected that you are the sole organizer, designer and the author of your turned in laboratory report; rather than it being a temporary borrowed item from a benevolent friend. Note 6: Laboratory reports carry 20% of your course grade . The maximum grade given to any trio of labs is 20 points. ********* To maximize your lab grade to 20, a maximum of 3 points will be given to any set of lab-report turned in on time, if and only if the turned in lab is completely typed. Note 7: You must have the following item for your Lab. Physics 185 Laboratory Manual, found at: http://occonline.occ.cccd.edu/online/afaridi
