During the second stage, theplastic ball on the top would perform free fall with a string attached. Thus the projectile of theplastic ball will be circular. Since the team assume the initial condition of the ball is v0 = 0 𝑚/𝑠,thus at the beginning of second stage, the total energy is just potential energy where PE = mghwhere m is the mass of the plastic ball and h is the initial height of the ball. After the plastic ballfalls at the bottom location, it will swing back up and collide with a

‘depth-averaged’ model.However major subsequent contributions to the subject matter took place during the 1960’s,wherein ‘variable-depth’ models were introduced. Let us consider for example, the potential flow over a horizontal bed. Let us consider a three-dimensional space with co-ordinates, x, y, z. However, for this example let us consider only the two dimensional plane x and z. If h is the mean water depth, and z is the vertical coordinate, then z = – h. One can arrive at a Taylor Expansion of the velocity potential η∀(x,z,t) around the bed level, z = – h. Page 15.214.3 Assume that u is the

10Performance on Final Exam. Each semester the department offers between eight and tensections of Statics and either seven or eight sections of Mechanics of Materials. All studentstake the same final exam at the same time during final exam week. Grading is divided so that thesame faculty member will grade the same problem(s) on the final for all students taking the finalexam. That is, faculty member A may be assigned to grade problems 1 and 2 for all studentstaking the final exam that semester. This insures that all of the finals are graded consistently.Performance on the common final is a good indicator of how well the students learned thematerial taught in the class. An average is generated each semester for each section of the class,and an overall
universities use the proposed approach and provide feedback.Besides the topic under consideration, the proposed approach can also be used when the subjectof strains analysis in two dimensions is presented in class. Once the equations for straintransformations have been obtained, identical steps to the ones presented here can be followed toderive the expressions for the in-plane principal strains, the maximum magnitude of the in-planeshear strain and their corresponding orientations.

3’s was about the same. It is fascinating that in the span of 3 midterm exams, the performance of “corequisite” group improved by nearly 20 points, to the point that their overall mean score was statistically better than the “prerequisite” group (with up to 94% confidence), a complete reversal of the results of Exam 1. It is clear in this case that the “corequisite” group of students started to develop a better understanding of the course material between the first and second exams and continued to improve until the end of the quarter. On the cumulative Final Exam, which was identical in the two quarters, the two groups performed in a virtually identical manner. This suggests that by the

better prepared for each class to some extent; thus theytook less time to solve problems as a group, if not correctly all the time. Some times thestudents are asked to show only the methodology and steps for solving the problem. Theywere then asked to complete the solution as group homework. Some times the data in thesame problems is changed for each group (for example the magnitude of a load or theangle of application of a load), so that their results can be plotted on the board as trendlines. Those who get wrong answers fall out of bounds of the trend line(s) and theyimmediately realize their mistakes. Careful design of classwork problems seems to helpstudents to a great extent as they learn the problem solving techniques just in time. Thefeed
