Hello! My name is Giuliana but I often go by Gugu.
ReplyDelete1. My previous experience with physics was a class I took senior year of high school.
2. One question I would like to ask is: "What is the best way to study for physics"
3. I hope this blog will help me understand physics outside of the textbook.

Hey guys! My name is Mason... but some people like to call me "Jars" like the Mason Jar lol.
ReplyDelete1) My previous experience with physics was in high school.
2) One question I would like to ask a physics or engineering major is "If you truly don't understand a concept or mathematical equation, how do you go about learning it?"
3) Honestly, from this blog, I would like to see different ways of "seeing things" from my classmates.

What's up guys? My name is Jordan. Im not German but I have lived in Germany most of my life.
ReplyDelete1) My pervious experience with physics was in high school.
2) Since this is aviation physics, how does the information from what we will learn apply to an actual position as ATC or pilot?
3) I hope to learn more about others and get a better understanding for physics to apply it to real world experiences.

Hey! my name is Shane. I moved to America from england 6 years ago.
ReplyDelete1. My only experience with physics was on a tv show that tried to explain how space and time travel is possible.
2. A question I would like to ask is "how can I apply physics to an aviation career.
3. From this blog, I hope to see what other people think about physics.

Those are all great questions, and our blog authors will be here soon to begin answering them!

Hey guys my name is Eric. Im from Long Island NY and i'm trying to head down the ATC path.
ReplyDelete1. I took physics class junior year of high school and was considering taking AP physics senior year but strayed from that idea.
2. I would ask a physics what their opinion is on the show "Through the Wormhole" (Or whether they know what it is for that matter)
3. I would like to use the blog as a resource to improve my understanding of the subjects we cover.
Sup yall, it's Ben. My Physic's experience is Bill Nye the Science guy. My question is which has the stronger roll cage, the Cirus or a Nascar stock car? From the blog I'd like to get answers to questions about the material
ReplyDeleteIm Sean and i took physics in highschool and watched Bill. Is it plausable to launch some one from a catapult and them survive. I hope this blog answes my questions

ReplyDeleteHi everyone, its Pete Litvinko. My experience with physics were class in my junior year of high school. I really enjoy labs and want to understand it a lot better by the end of this course.

Hi its Jason and this is probably the tenth time I am trying to post this, but my experience with physics is senior year in high school, and I would like to understand how aerodynamics really impacts force as there has not been anything really worth noting in the past 50 years in terms of jet aircraft speed.
ReplyDeleteWhat I would like out of this blog is extra hints and tips to help along the way.
Sorry it's taken so long to respond to the questions. I'll try to answer the ones that I can and I'll get back to you for the ones that I can't.
ReplyDelete@Gugu- The best way that I found to study is the same way I study for everything else. Practice, practice, practice. Just keep working the problems assigned to you and similar problems in the book and you should be ok.
@Mason- I'd say go to your professor. Dr Lane is really good at making himself available to his students after class, so try to reserve an hour or two when he has office hours.
@Jordan- Well, I'm no aviation major, but I assume that pretty much everything you learn in this Physics course will apply to the mechanics of flying a plane. Even if you do not directly use the equations you learn as you fly a plane, it will do nothing but help you if you know more about how and why your plane is traveling through the air.
@Shane- Being an Engineering major, I cannot say exactly how you will use the equations you learn in your future career as a pilot. However, like I told Jordan, the things you learn in this class will only benefit you in the days to come. Companies will probably feel more secure in hiring someone who understands the mechanics of the physics involved in aviation.
@Eric- What is "Through the Wormhole"?
@Ben- Cirus as in the Chrysler Cirrus? Off the top of my head, I would guess the stock car because those are badass.
@Sean- How strong of a catapult?
@Pete- Cool.
@Jason(Anon)- What do you mean when you say "how aerodynamics really impacts force"? Are you talking about wind resistance?
