Physics tutor near me in Jacksonville, FL

The Student and Tutor reviewed physics concepts including vector displacement, calculation of magnitude and direction using trigonometry, and bearing. They also practiced problems related to average velocity, unit conversions, and electrical circuits, specifically focusing on series resistors and potential dividers, with the Student assigned additional practice.

The Tutor and Student delved into Hamilton's Principle of Least Action, exploring the concept of action as an integral of the Lagrangian (kinetic minus potential energy). They discussed how the actual path taken by a system is the one that minimizes or makes the action stationary, and how this can be applied using different parameters. They planned to explore the Euler-Lagrange equations and the emergence of Newton's laws from Hamilton's principle in the next session.

The Tutor and Student reviewed concepts related to capacitance, electrostatics, electric potential, and potential energy. They practiced solving various problems, including MCQs and complex circuit analysis using the ratio method, and discussed strategies for calculating electric potential energy by pairing charges. The session concluded with exam preparation advice.

The student and tutor discussed the student's AP Physics C curriculum, confirming their focus on Mechanics. The main academic content covered waves, differentiating between longitudinal and transverse types, and exploring Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) as the basis for wave particle behavior. They worked through problems related to spring-mass systems to calculate period and frequency.

The student and tutor discussed upcoming tests on angular momentum, collisions, and energy levels. The session involved the tutor providing practice problems via a shared drive link, focusing on concepts like impulse, conservation of momentum, and elastic collisions. The student will work on the problems before their next meeting.
