Week of 11/4

This week in office hours, I received many questions regarding torque and relating definitions of torque to definitions of work. I had to work to help students draw connections between rotational kinematics and "regular" kinematics definitions of work and energy to help them realize they weren't necessarily working with entirely new concepts, but rather old concepts in a new world. Other questions involved understanding springs and the relationship between acceleration + velocity at different time points in simple harmonic motion.
