PHYSICS: Boxes and block, all slipping and sliding… Is it starting to make a little more sense? Here’s our review of of some of the homework problems from today – #36, 40, and 41 (I think). Below the lesson for today is the help session from this morning. It has #46 – the “girl on a sled coasts down a hill” problem.
Here’s the thing. You can watch me or someone else do a thousand problems (okay, maybe not a thousand – but a lot!), and it won’t help. I don’t want you to copy what I do, I want you copy why I’m doing it. Make sense? You’re getting it…keep sledding and watch out for net forces!
Help Session
This week has been ok… I’m struggling a little bit with forces, but I think it might be more conceptual. I’ve been doing so-so on the problems. I’m getting most of them right, which is exciting, but there are some that I need to keep working on. I think my main struggle right now is just staying on top of everything! Thankfully I’m caught up on labs right now, though once we start the friction coefficient lab I can’t guarantee that… I’m anxious about the capstone part of it, but once again, the practice will help me to learn and to persevere! Hopefully this weekend I can just sit down and do all the problems so I can understand all the concepts! Happy Thursday Ms. Skinner 🙂
