I was not able to conduct my office hours Thursday, and Monday I only had one student with a single homework question. On Friday, I had a few students who had question about homework. I had a few questions about forces but a lot of the focus was on circular motion. A lot of the questions were concept questions relating to acceleration and velocity. The best way to explain this concept is to draw the vectors of acceleration and velocity on a circle and determine how they during circular motion. This also helps explain in what cases an object is speeding up or slowing down. Students seem to be getting better at setting up the sum of the forces equations which has helped them solve more complicated force problems.
