Physics builds from foundational concepts while challenging students at every level, regardless of prior experience. Through hands-on laboratories, structured practice problems, and meaningful real-world applications, students develop a deep understanding of physical laws and how they shape the world around them. Each unit emphasizes critical thinking and analytical reasoning, encouraging students to break down complex systems, connect theory with observation, and approach problem-solving with confidence, precision, and clarity.
This assignment examined whether a fan-driven cart moving along an inclined ramp follows Newton’s Second Law. By changing the fan speed, the applied force was varied, and the resulting acceleration was measured over multiple trials. The data were averaged and graphed to determine if acceleration had a linear relationship with force. A free-body diagram and theoretical calculations were used to compare experimental results to expected values and identify sources of error. Trouble Viewing PDF? Click Here
This assignment focused on analyzing projectile motion by breaking the motion into horizontal and vertical components. Using kinematic equations, the velocity, displacement, and time were calculated at key points such as maximum height, parachute deployment, and landing. The problem required applying trigonometry to resolve vectors and carefully tracking motion in multiple stages. Overall, it covered how complex motion can be modeled by combining constant-acceleration equations with directional analysis. Trouble Viewing PDF? Click Here
