Week of 9/18

On Wednesday, two people came, who had the same questions as students the week before. In one problem you needed to solve for the acceleration of a runner, and in another problem you had to find the starting height of an acorn given that it passed a meter stick in exactly one second. Once again, the problems seemed pretty difficult at first, but after going through each of the steps needed to find the solution the students seemed to understand them a lot better.

On Thursday, two people needed help with a tension question where two blocks are attached by a rope and hung over two pulleys. After explaining that the blocks accelerations are the same, and that they need two equations to solve for the tension, they understood the problem.

On Friday, no one from my Physics I class came, but I helped one student with a true/false Lon Capa question.
