Physics 11-8-18 Net Vertical Force

PHYSICS: Great start with net vertical force! Don’t you think it’s the same as horizontal – just turned 90 degrees? And incredible demonstrations of some important concepts! Thank you Payne & Logan, and thank you Joseph! Awesome! I love, love, love watching you make physics come alive!

  1. Overall, this has been a good week in Physics! I actually like this chapter, and it has made more sense to me than some of the previous ones. Although I’m still having trouble with a couple of the problems from the past two homeworks, I have definitely seen improvement since we have been reviewing and practicing in class! I think that once I get the chance to really focus in on and practice the troublesome problems this weekend, I will be able to perfect them. Tonight’s homework went a lot more smoothly (maybe because it was super simple, but I don’t need to tell myself that haha–improvement is improvement, right?)! I’m a bit worried about writing up the Capstone lab and STARTING A NEW ONE, but it will at least be a good opportunity to learn how to navigate that vast and confusing computer program! I also need to work on time management for this upcoming test–I think I will be able to nail down the concepts, but I can’t forget to budget my time because that’s what really gets me!

  2. This week in Physics has been a little difficult for me. It’s definitely not the hardest thing we’ve done this year and I’m actually understanding it better than I expected, but still not completely. However, I absolutely loved the problems right after we added a friction component in, so maybe I’ll come around with these vertical force problems haha! I think I will feel much more confident working these problems once I take the time this weekend to rewatch vodcasts and work problems.

  3. I finally have a good understanding of the problems we’ve been working, but now that we’ve added vertical forces, I am very lost. Last night’s homework (Friday’s homework on the syllabus) was really rough. I used the Vodcast and my notes, and I just do not yet understand how these problems are similar to what we did in class. I definitely need more practice. Could we possibly have a help session?

  4. I actually feel pretty good about this week in physics. I mostly understand what we are learning. I am a little stressed out about the test, but as I redo the homework I hope to improve my understanding. I definitely need to practice time management for the test, as I keep running out of time and making stupid mistakes.

  5. This week has been a good one for me. I really understand the problems that we are working on right now and I’m getting better and better everyday. The only thing that I got completely caught up on and probably the most confused I’ve ever been was when we were rotating the triangle to solve the problem. It screwed me up but I finally figured it out. I’m feeling good about the test. Even though my test taking skills aren’t the best. I’m going to practice and do my best.

  6. We have learned a lot this week. I understand where everything is coming from and I think I just need to practice now. Conceptually I understand but when a new element is added I start to worry. I am going to watch the vodcasts to see where I am really struggling. The test is worrying me slightly but I am going to study this weekend to see what is really hard for me right now so that I can ask questions on Tuesday.

  7. This week in general has been very stressful for me. With so many absences, I have been caught behind with many of my classes. I was able to catch up today with all of them except for Physics, so I am going to use my time this weekend to get back on track. I understand this lesson and enjoy it, though, so it should be fun to catch up. With so much going on; however, I did forget to do Science in the News. I can’t believe I missed such an easy assignment. Regardless, I am looking forward to catching up and getting back on track for this next week.

  8. I felt much better about this whole chapter by the end of the week. However, once we moved on to vertical forces I wasn’t so sure again. But I know if I go and think through all the problems this weekend I will be much better at it come Monday.

  9. This week started with confusion but ended with success. I was confused from last week and not sure what i was doing but i was able to catch up and understand the new lessons. When we started to do the elevator problems the questions just clicked for me and I’m happy to say i feel 100% confident in physics. I finally was able to get every question right on my homework the last time this happened was about four weeks. I am confident for the test coming up. I am going to be reviewing some of the trickier problems from the beginning so I won’t forget how to work them for the test.

  10. This week was very ominous to say the least. I always live this clas and all the difficult problems we do, but we are slowly running out of material. This is so spooky to me because that means there is a test coming up and I am not as mentally prepared as I want to be. I enjoy studying so intensely for these tests, but with basketball season starting the Tuesday night of the optimal time to study, I am worried that wouthout proper time management I could watch my grade slip. I plan on studying all Sunday and Monday for this test though. Learning to study more than the night before has always been a struggle of mine, unlit I’m excited to learn how to conquer it these next few days.

  11. This week in physics has been very stressful for me. I understand it just about every time we work problems together in class, but as soon as I begin the homework, I completely blank out. Now my top priority this weekend is reworking the last 2 or 3 homeworks to not only get them turned in for the grade, but also for me to make sure I understand how to work them for the test. I am very nervous about this test as it will be the only test grade going into my average up until this point; however, I am going to begin studying for it this weekend so that I can hopefully do well on it. I just need to watch my time!
