Saniya taught 11 days ago

The Student and Tutor reviewed position-time graphs, focusing on interpreting slopes to determine motion (forward, backward, stopped) and calculating average and instantaneous velocities. They also touched upon curved graphs related to acceleration and practiced using kinematic equations for free-fall problems, with the Tutor planning to send additional practice worksheets.

Soumya taught about 1 month ago

The Tutor and Student reviewed the principles of conservative and non-conservative forces, leading into the conservation of mechanical energy. They worked through examples of a falling rock and a roller coaster to illustrate energy transformation and applied these concepts to solve a problem involving circular motion and energy in a roller coaster loop, and discussed a spring and loop energy problem.

Frequently asked questions

What physics research opportunities exist at Fresno?

Fresno State's Physics Department offers undergraduate research through the Student Research, Scholarship and Creative Activities program, allowing students to work directly with faculty on active projects. Current research areas include condensed matter physics focusing on nanomaterials and thin films, computational astrophysics studying stellar evolution and galactic dynamics, and renewable energy physics examining photovoltaic efficiency and energy storage systems. The department also conducts applied physics research in collaboration with Central Valley agricultural partners, investigating soil physics, precision irrigation systems, and environmental monitoring technologies. Students can participate in the annual Student Research Day and present findings at regional conferences, with many continuing to graduate programs at UC Davis, Stanford, and other research universities.

How can we explore physics in daily life and beyond?

Agriculture: The GPS units guiding tractors use Einstein's theory of relativity to be accurate. Modern irrigation systems are masterpieces of fluid dynamics. Forestiere Underground Gardens: This unique local landmark is a brilliant example of insulation and thermodynamics. The earth acts as a natural insulator, keeping the gardens cooler than the hot summer air. The Sierra Nevada: The towering granite domes of our nearby mountains are a result of immense geological forces and pressure from plate tectonics over millions of years.

Are there any physics-focused school summer camps in Fresno?

Yes, you can often find STEM-focused summer camps through Fresno State and The Discovery Center. These programs are great for middle and high school students to get hands-on experience with science and engineering.

What are some of the easier/harder/most important topics in physics?

Easier: Topics you can see and feel, like motion and forces. Harder: Abstract concepts that defy our intuition, like quantum mechanics and special relativity. Most Important: The three pillars are Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, and Thermodynamics.

Which universities in the Fresno area are good for physics?

Fresno City College: The best place to start. It has a strong science program where you can complete your first two years of demanding math and physics courses affordably. Fresno State: The primary local four-year university with a comprehensive physics department. It's especially well-known for producing excellent high school science teachers.

What jobs can you get with a physics degree (general and specific to Fresno)?

Generally, physics graduates work as software engineers, data scientists, and engineers in many fields. In the Fresno area, a physics degree makes you a strong candidate for careers in: Agriculture Technology Water Resource Management Healthcare: medical physicist or data analyst Education: High school physics teacher As a launchpad for jobs in the Bay Area tech industry or at national labs.
