The first exam, fourth quiz, ninth chapter, second lab, second week, and a ton of learning and problem solving are behind us. The pace of the course is quite something … as you can see in this picture as Dr. Evans presents a lecture about collisions.
DUML students are very aware of the pace — [...]

The second official lab allows students to figure out a procedure for determining the work done by friction for a typical introductory mechanics situation; namely, carts with an attached “friction pad” accelerated up an inclined plane. Anytime we can get out of the book and work out the concepts in the real world, [...]

Wendy made it! After a very hectic last week for Wendy, who was also taking a course from Celia Bonaventura and doing an independent study project with Tom Shultz, Wendy managed to tie up all physics loose ends and perform famously on her final exam. While I provided some support, she worked diligently and finished [...]
