Science: Using Superheroes to Teach Physics

To get students interested in subjects like Physics, the University of California has offered a course called The Science of Superheroes. It seems to be a growing trend as other universities follow suit in offering other courses which examine science fiction.

G.10 Science: Physics Test Tomorrow

Navneet and Devin have both asked "what do the arrows over the d, v, and a represent?" These arrows define these concepts as vectors, as a result, these arrows are identifying these concepts as having direction. In addition, the arrow over the d means that we are referring to displacement rather than distance.

G.10 Science: Physics Review

Hey Benji, my advice would be to study the physics unit on the practice exam. I am aware that there is some information on there that has not been covered as of yet but you should be able to identify this information. The last remaining concept that I will cover in class are Position/Acceleration vs Time graphs, essentially, it is the use of the slope formula.

Physics: Newton's 1st Law

These videos are examples of Newton's 1st Law; An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net force.

Video #1: An object at rest tends to stay at rest.



Video #2: An object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net force.
