    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

      +Zachary Boeder Cosine starts from 1 at 0 degrees, and it decreases from 1 to 0 until it reaches 90 degrees starting from 0 degrees. If one already has the 3 values of cos30, cos45, and cos60 in his memory, then he should be able to know that the smallest of those 3 values belongs to the highest degree of the 3 degrees, and that the biggest value belongs to the smallest degree. To decide whether a mistake is a small or a big one, you should take into consideration the cause of the mistake. Hopefully that makes sense.

    @Elzelgator 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @WhutsWhat let me tell you think about a triangle. you can calculate the length of it if you know the angles, (with cosine theorem..)
    am i right then let me move on now i want you to decrease one angle of the triangle. i want you to make that angle as 0' ok?
    now you have a line. am i right , ok now use the cosine theorem. lets call lengt of that line as ''a'' and the length of a point will be ''x''
    x.x = a.a + a.a - 2 .cos0.a.a
    x.x = (a - a) . (a - a) this is a simple explanation

    True about the TONS of topics, but in most he never really derives anything from first principles. For example, the dot product video above, he begins with the geometric definition of the dot product and then attempts to explain it. Of course, almost no one derives anything from first principles, so perhaps I am hold Khan to too high a standard.
    However, I appreciate that the videos are available. But I usually show my students other videos.
