PHYSICS: Wonderful visual today of the difference in angular speed and linear speed! Thanks for playing along!!
So is being unbalanced a bad thing? Here’s the beginning discussion of circular motion.

Physics 1-25-23 Stability & Rotational Equilibrium Problems Review
PHYSICS: Ohhhhhhhhh….so that’s how they can walk across that line! Wait – why do they keep moving their bodies?? Great opportunities for discussion and application!?!
Here’s the discussion from today on how stability relates to center of mass. At the beginning, a quick look at a couple of torque problems from the homework, Torque Worksheet 2.
Physics 1-24-23 Rotational Equilibrium Problems
Great job with asymmetrical Christmas trees and rotational equilibrium!! Here’s a look at putting rotational equilibrium together with translational equilibrium. The beginning of good times!
Physics 1-23-23 Torque & A Look at Rotational Equilibrium
PHYSICS: So how’s the balance in your life right now? 😉 Here’s our look at torque and another kind of equilibrium.
Physics 1-11-23 Collisions Problems Review 2
PHYSICS: Great job with some of the more advanced momentum and energy problems! Here’s a look at the student in the middle of a frozen pond, bird on the wire, car crash with coefficient of friction, and the billiard balls.
Ready for the test? Take another look at some of the concepts!
Physics 1-10-23 Collisions Problems with Energy & Bouncing
PHYSICS: Great job on the problems so far!! Here’s our look how kinetic and potential energy get involved – dart in the block of wood and the bird on the swing. This cute little bird isn’t on a swing, but he is one I came beak to nose with on a mission trip to Costa Rica!
What about even more practical applications? Hmmmm…..
Physics 1-9-23 Collisions
PHYSICS: Collisions – they’re all around us and they all obey the law of conservation of momentum. Here’s more specific information about the proper way to differentiate and name them.
Great job with the conceptual review and setting up the problems! As you practice tonight, be sure and check for connections between the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy. 🙂
Physics 1-6-23 Conservation of Momentum
PHYSICS: Great job playing around with the law of conservation of momentum! Now go play with the problems! 🙂
Physics 1-5-23 Impulse-Momentum Theorem
PHYSICS So that’s why you need good running shoes! Here’s our discussion of momentum and the impulse-momentum theorem. Did you understand the relationship between force and time? Let’s see if you can put it to practice. Hmmm….
Happy New Year 2023!!
Happy New Year!! Aren’t you glad that God gives us a chance to start all over again?
We are going to have an awesome 2nd semester!! I’m praying that God will use this semester to help get you ready for the incredibly wonderful things in has for you in the future!! And more than that, I pray that this year you’ll grow more than any other in your walk with our Lord Jesus. I pray that you’ll be determined to follow Him, no matter if you have to walk by yourself.
I can promise you – Jesus will never forsake you!
Happy New Year!!
“And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.” Psalm 9:10
….”I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back, no turning back. Though none go with me, I still will follow. No turning back, no turning back.” John Clark
