@ honestly, as someone who had a limited physics background going into it make sure that you either did Calc 1 prior or are taking calc 1 concurrently with it. The calculus portion is honestly the most straightforward in my opinion, hell I used the derivatives and integral relationships in physics 1 to teach me the first and second derivative idea of calculus 1. Understand that physics is a BUILDING science like most others. Therefore, make sure to tackle any confusions or misunderstandings earlier on so that later units don’t confuse you once they mention older ideas. Lastly, understand that mechanics is a broad field and you probably won’t necessarily love every unit equally. I for one loved simple harmonic motion (and learning about spring potential energy as well as the sinusoidal behavior of such motion), but I remember other people stating that they weren’t huge fans. Have fun! There will hopefully be some fun experiments you do throughout your course and try to actually make the most of them regardless of how simple they appear. Even throwing a pencil off a desk to demonstrate projectile motion (a kinematics concept with you will explore pretty early) contains a wealth of knowledge regarding the underlying physics of its behavior. The main concept you get from projectile motion I would say is that vertical motion occurs independent of horizontal motion (you will understand this later when you actually do the course). Good luck!
the randomest thing that could have been recommended to me. since I'm here now I'll ask you a question, is the friction and the force you applied an action-reaction pair?
This appeared on my home page for some reason
same wtf
same lmao great video on Newton's 3rd law
same
Same bro
like why?
I know I watch a lot of science stuff, but not someone's assignments
same
this is the type of video to go viral in 5 years
Can’t wait for this to go viral in 13 years
Good luck with AP Physics 1 bro! That class was hella fun when I did it.
I’m taking it next year any tips?

Wow this was pretty helpful

I am in awe
What'd you get on this assignment?
you kind of look like jim halpert
