We have finished the first couple weeks of physics class at BUA. During the first two weeks we studied statics, inertia, and weight. Towards the end the students struggled through an introduction to vectors and trigonometry. We will revisit vectors when we get to dynamics in two weeks. You can view a lot of cool […]
