| '''An email message to everyone in class, with the subject line "OH, homework, and quiz," has been sent out, on 10:22 AM, Jan 13, Sunday.''' ~-It is the first email message sent directly from my computer, using my personal grading software – this is the way that all emails will be sent from me from now on. It is crucial that you are able to receive my email messages. If you indicated your preferred email addres in the questionnaire, then you will be receiving my emails at that address.-~ '''If you did ''not'' receive the above mentioned email message sent out this morning, then it indicates a serious problem! If this is the case, then you ''must'' email me!''' — [[Sam]], ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-13T10:50:21-0800)>>''-~ |

| * I just made all practice exam questions available on the forum site. Please click "SQ" or "EX" to see them.

On the blackboard, as I was answering A, I drew an inverted evacuated tube immersed in liquid, and indicated how high liquid will rise in that tube by 1 atm of pressure. Hg → 760 mm (''not'' 76 mm) -- this is why 1 atm is 760 mm Hg (= 760 Torr). Water → 10 m. My lecture notes and review sheets had been fine on this. It is just that on the board I quickly wrote an incorrect number, I think! Sorry, if this confused you. – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-03-18T13:58:06-0700)>>''-~ |

| * I have a review session set up. I am of the opinion that doing a review session only once (along with review materials uploaded on the web) may be better for everyone, and I am guessing that the time below is when almost everyone can come for the review session. However, if you are not able to participate in this review session, then, please email me individually. If there are many students who are not able to come to the Saturday review session, then I will try to do correct the situation. * Physiscs 5B review session * Sat Jan 26 2013 * 3:00 - 4:30PM * Classroom Unit 001 – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T15:55:39-0800)>>''-~ * No reading quiz today, since reading quiz is a bit ahead of lecture. Please start reviewing! Read everything. "Reading backwards" is often a good strategy: practice exam first, and then read lecture notes, clicker quizzes, reading quizzes, books, etc. – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T04:23:33-0800)>>''-~ * Practice exam for midterm 1 is posted. Please '''[[Lecture+|check here]]'''. – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-23T18:36:42-0800)>>''-~ * Updated office hours and TA discussion section schedules have been posted.

* Lecture notes (worth uploading; no repetition of textbook materials) and solutions to past homework had been constantly uploaded to the '''[[Lecture+]]''' page. You should check them out, if you have not been doing so! – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-03-15T17:50:37-0800)>>''-~ |

Welcome to the second part of Physics 5!
In this course, we will continue the exploration of the introductory physics. We will start with the simple harmonic oscillator. Then, we will study waves in general. This will lead to geometric optics and related topics. Lastly, we will come back to fluids and statics. If we somehow run out of time, we might leave some topics like fluids for reading only. I like to go through the simple harmonic oscillator and waves, slowly but surely, so that we cover these supremely important topics well enough.
