Advanced Physics
From force to work, to Newton's Laws, through simulations and mathematical reasoning we can all become physicists!
Hosted by 1 expert guide
⭐ Through collaboration and dedicated hard work, you too can be a Physicist! ⭐
What You'll Do
Learn about important physical concepts
Learn how to mathematically represent and algebraically manipulate each of them
Simulate these concepts on online simulators PhET and Simbucket
Apply them to real world concepts
Concepts Encountered
- Kinematics (displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration)
- Kinematics in 2D
- Forces (Newton's three laws)
- Work and Energy
What You'll Need
- Access to a computer, a mouse and keyboard, stable internet connection, and a working webcam and microphone.
- Solid algebraic understanding (manipulating functions, systems of linear equations, exponents, graphing, etc). This will be a big part of the class so it is important that you can do this mathematical reasoning. But if you do not yet know these and feel confident you can catch on to them quickly, that works too!
- A Zoom account.
❗ The math in this course may be challenging, but understanding it will offer a whole new lens on how the world works! ❗
👩🔬 Excited to see you there! 👨🔬

Today we went over collisions! Elastic, inelastic and perfectly inelastic.
Here is the fun problem ***** designed: a 1 kg fly is flying towards a lizard at 5 m/s. The lizard is 5 kg and moving towards the fly at 2 m/s. After the collision, the fly’s final velocity is 3 m/s, what...

We had fun starting our unit on electricity and charges. Today we got play some charged table hockey, ***** was the only one to make a goal, here's his hard work:
Apr 7 @ 11:00 PM
Today we built projects to demonstrate what we've learned so far about Thermodynamics!
***** made an animated model displaying entropy, **** created a temperature converter, and ***** created a calculator for each of the equations we've used so far!
Really great work today gu...
