Physics tutor near me in Port St Lucie, FL

The class reviewed concepts of circular motion, including centripetal force and its relationship to velocity and radius. They applied these principles to solve physics problems related to sports, such as the hammer throw and a player rounding a base, and discussed the role of friction in maintaining circular paths. The tutor offered to review vector addition in the next session.

The student and tutor reviewed AP Physics 1 past year questions, working through problems related to momentum, motion, and energy. They also briefly discussed upcoming topics in mathematics, with a plan to dedicate more time to physics concepts and these math problems in future sessions.

The Tutor and Student worked through problems related to Coulomb's Law, electric force, and gravitational force. They practiced applying these laws to calculate forces, understand their relationships with charge and distance, and analyze situations involving equilibrium and vector addition of forces. The next session will likely continue with advanced topics or further practice.

The tutor and student completed the study of ray diagrams for lenses, covering all cases for convex lenses and the two main cases for diverging lenses. They reviewed the properties of the images formed and discussed the specific rules for ray tracing with diverging lenses. The tutor plans to provide a summary table for diverging lenses and move to the next topics in the upcoming session.

The session involved the Student and Tutor working through physics problems, primarily focusing on dimensional analysis to derive formulas and understanding wave properties like energy, amplitude, intensity, and power. They also reviewed concepts related to reflected waves and discussed areas where the Student's work needed correction and clarification.

The tutor and student engaged in a detailed discussion and problem-solving session on rotational motion. They covered the concepts of torque, its mathematical representation, units, and the right-hand rule. The session also delved into rotational work, kinetic energy, and the interpretation of rotational motion graphs, concluding with a practical application through solving a static equilibrium problem. The next session will focus on moment of inertia.
