Physics has surprisingly become one of my favorite classes. I’ve even found the homework assignments relaxing and have done them to calm down when I’m stressed. The course covers materials from the AP physics curriculums but because it’s not an actual AP class there is more freedom in what we get to learn.
Kinematics Lab Report
Our first lab during the Kinematics unit in A term was to find the acceleration of an object on an inclined plane. This involved using a cart on a ramp and a Vernier analysis tool that measured the velocity.
POW on Kinematics and Dynamics
Around the beginning of B term, we had a Problem of the Week about a puck on an inclined plane. This was a combination of kinematics and dynamics, which allowed us to see them as tools we can use when we need them rather than just separate units.
