Week of 11/11

This week I had 3 students in my office hours. All three of them had questions about physics problems involving rotational kinematics. One of the major concepts I noticed they struggled with was the translation of linear kinematic values into rotational kinematic ones. I explained to them that what helped me a lot with those problems (when I took physics) was to think of a rotational analog to every kinematic value I could. It was also helpful to have formulas used to convert between linear and rotational kinematic values.
