Physics 8-30-18 Tortoise & the Hare and Intro to Acceleration

PHYSICS: Great work on the tortoise and the hare problem! And great intro to acceleration!

How are you doing on the “tough” problems? I’ve said it before, but remember a few things: You weren’t born knowing how to do these – give yourself a little time. On the really good ones, just one formula won’t work – begin with writing what your know. These are some of the hardest problems we’ll work in physics – not because the formulas are hard, but because knowing how to reason through them is so challenging.

You are doing a great job! Some good advice – go work them again! I promise, it will be good for you. Remember, don’t open the solutions you wrote in your notes! Try them without it!! If you have to, peek, but then don’t stop until you can work the entire problem through without looking!
