I will be taking Math/Physics from the amazing Jeff Major. This year, we will be doing many projects such as the My World in Motion and the Sumobot projects.
Struggles/Successes in Physics
Unfortunately, I missed a couple of physics lectures and so, for a while, I was really confused about the Velocity vs. Time graph but I went to tutoring and figured it out. I ennjoy doing physics but it is very hard for me so far. I am hoping to gain confidence in that subject trhoughout the year and I hope to be able to have it down really well.
Physics worksheet
I had a lot of trouble with this type of problem originally but no I can do them mostly correctly.
This was a warm up problem that I had trouble on but I eventually came to the correct answer.
This is my original Acceleration graph. As you can see, it has a lot of revisions. The revised version is on my project page. I did not completely understand the accelerations at first. It was very confusing to me because I kept thinking that it corresponded directly with the V vs. T graph. It does correspond directly, but in a completely different way than what I originally
This was my first acceleration work. I got all of the answers incorrect. And after the lecture I still did not understand the concepts. I was very confused especially about acceleration vectors on motion maps. This worksheet shows some revisions that I made to my notes so that I would be able to study better. After the lecture, I really understood how to find the area under the curve on a graph.
Hard work obviously pays off! I got a 34/36 on my test which is an A-plus. I studied very hard for this test. There was one problem that I got incorrect though. It is circled in brown on the test paper. I was thinking that because the acceleration was negative that the velocity was also. But it is quite obvious that it is not. It was just a silly mistake.
